Another example of what college is like

From the chapter titled "Cartesian Inwardness" from David Blacker's Democratic Education Stretched Thin: How Complexity Challenges a Liberal Ideal

"Sound inquiry begins when, during an appropriately structured episode, as much as possible assent is removed from the pack of assumptions comprising some object of inquiry--including when that object consists of oneself and one's own set of experiences, there being no license to restrict the method to any particular subject matter."

Don't tell me that you wouldn't want a ferrethandjobs.com shirt.

"Secret" MIDI files in Windows

go to C:\Windows\Media and play the file called onestop. At first it sounds like Kirby, then Sonic, then...I don't even know. It's like if Dream Theater made midi music. It goes all over the place.

My face when I listened to the track for the first time:


There are other cool songs in the folder called Town and Flourish. I don't like those as much, but they're still kinda cool.

Just Cause 2 demo review

Plot synopsis:

"I hear you want to blow stuff up"
"Yes. And we hear you're one of the best helpers"
"Yes. Let's go."

Then shit like this happens on a regular basis:

Best. Game. Ever.

Gameplay:
Absurd, over the top gunplay and action a la Saints Row, with a dash of Freedom Fighters. Explosions, base jumping, hilarious old school rag dolls. What is there not to like?
