Bring the funny

It was a long day/night at the paper… it wasn’t a long issue, but we did a lot of short gags, a lot of comics and such. It was torturously hot in EngSoc with all the computers running, all the people, all the humidity and whatever other crap decided to throw itself into the mix. It’s hard to produce good content, when you’re all hot and sticky and sweaty. Things started being more productive later in the evening. I’m not looking forward to the winter months, but I think the fall will be better for efficient newspaper production.

I need to do a computer ethics paper/presentation now. It’s not hard, only 400-500 words and 2-3 minute presentation. My topic for the week is online fraud. If you have any good links kicking around let me know. It’s not actually due until Tuesday afternoon, but I have a group meeting tomorrow night. I guess that I’ll probably actually end up working on it sometime tomorrow afternoon.

Bits

In the era of heightened US national security, it’s nice to know that someone can still mail themself across the country in a box. It’s also nice to see that someone is willing to avoid gouging their customers.

School seems to have started in full swing. My schedule isn’t too bad, I ended up with no classes starting before 11. I’ll probably have to get myself up earlier so I can actually get things accomplished. The second issue of Golden Words came out today. I would have liked to have seen it bigger, but it ended up being a long drawn out night. We’ll start getting more content from our writers as they get back into the groove. It’s shaping up to be a solid year.
