by Megan M. on February 28, 2007 (Blog) |

Jon Stewart asked John Amaechi how he felt about Tim Hardaway’s dismaying remarks on homosexuality. Here’s his answer: “My first reaction was… I actually laughed a little bit, because you know that people think these things but you don’t imagine people would be stupid enough to say it.

RAM Upgrades and Itty Bitty Progress

by Megan M. on February 27, 2007 (Blog) |

Well, I did it. It was actually really easy. And the 1 gig stick has made a difference. Just not much of a difference. I’m pretty convinced now that if I had $280 for a 2 gig stick of RAM, that would solve the problem. But I certainly don’t have that money now, and I [...]

Okay, Heather was right. The HEB at 41st is the best HEB—and in addition to it being a gigantic store, there’s a Chase bank right in the building… and there’s a quarter machine.
