My thoughts on Affirmative Action
As I am applying to college in the next year, I realize that I am going to, perhaps for the first time in my life (well, since i applied to prep schools), deal with Affirmative Action. As an upper-middle class white male northeasterner from a private school, this does not bode well for me. Basically I’ve boiled my thoughts on this matter down to one sentence, which I’d love a response...
“You don’t pay the plumber every time you flush the toilet”

Why It Won’t Work →
really, really, moronically depressing and stupid attempt at DRM-Free music by Sony BMG. Sony, which used to the it company in consumer electronics and entertainment, is getting left in the dust. I think/hope they’re doomed. Sony must have some seriously naive/stubborn people at the top. Did you buy a PS3 lately? No? Didn’t think so.
Is gmail working for anyone?
