Sophie Says Sooth (2002.12.09): "You will notice, however, that coupons commonly printed off various web sites typically have no cash value whatsoever. This is because the Internet is useless and no one cares anything about e-commerce."

Matriculation Reloaded (2002.12.08): "I'm pretty sure I don't actually like the Owls -- I tend to confuse them with Owen, which features the same primary member, is on the same label and released its debut around the same time -- but it's the principle of the thing. Lack of sleep and crass capitalism shouldn't keep me from rocking out."

Sophie Says Sooth (2002.12.02): "In other words, x is built up one bit at a time, starting with the most significant bit. Then it is squared and compared to N. This algorithm works quite well for processors that have a multiply instruction. Unfortunately, the PIC doesn't fall into that category. However, it is posssible to efficiently multiply a number by itself (i.e. square it)."


Oz: The Complete First Season: "Oz walks the fine line between homoerotic soap opera for men and a quasi-realistic exploration of the power structure inside one of America's maximum security prisons. While Oz possesses a premise that would make it a definite franchise show (as well as one that would get various parental watchdog groups up in arms and out for blood), it remains the red-headed stepchild of HBO."

Juliana Hatfield / Gold Stars 1992-2002: "As interesting and important as it is, though, I never would have bought it had I not found a copy for $10 at a used record store called Nuggets in Boston. I have all of Juliana's solo records, which means I have all the would-be hits including here."

Transmetropolitan: Back on the Street: "Spider Jerusalem, despite generally coming off as a PCP-addicted version of Daffy Duck, is a very deep character in terms of moral core and values. Such is the case when Spider lashes out at the womanizing leader of the Transient community regarding his abuse of authority over the Transients and his habit of knocking up his female followers."


San Diego Comic-con 2002: Part 1: "A lot of it sounded like standard conspiracy theory bullshit; I would like to believe him about the income taxes, though. Apparently it has something to do with the improper ratification of the 16th Amendment and taxing our privilege of earning money."

"Glamour Hose": A 14-piece photographic series from Natalie Meyer


"Pixel Worship": A new short narrative work from Aaron Veenstra

Hopefully this will be the last week I'm late getting Sophie uploaded. Both my final project presentations were today, so my schedule is now mostly clear until mid-January. Anyway, this week it's about coupons and swans. I find it interesting to note that swans come in two different genera.

It's almost the end of the semester on campus and that means group projects and indie rock. Sorry, "rawk."
