Where’s the Ethernet Port?

Seth asks: “Where’s the ethernet jack?” Based on my experiences, the jack’s on the wall, under the desk with the phone jack. (It could be behind the phone based on his note of the lighting conditions, but I’m sticking with “in the wall”.

Where are you, Amy Greer?

Yesterday the 500 millionth song was downloaded from the iTunes Music Store. While that in itself is cool, check out who won: “Apple® today announced that music fans have purchased and downloaded more than half a billion songs from the iTunes® Music Store. The 500 millionth song, Faith Hill’s “Mississippi Girl,” was purchased […]

Exciting Weekend

This past weekend was one full of away-from-Purdue time. Saturday afternoon I left West Lafayette for Fort Wayne to attend my friend Heather’s wedding reception (married last december in NYC; this reception was for us unable to make it out there). Somehow Yahoo! Maps told me to take 25 to 35, and I […]

Days Like These

It’s days like these that I hate. It’s not that any class is going badly, or that anyone passed away…some days, though, I get so wrapped up in my own worries and fears about random things. Will anyone show up to the film showing (Rocky, by the way) this weekend? Where will […]

I’m Alive, I Promise

So much has been happening lately, and I’ve severaly neglected the blog. It’s ironic that the more you have to write about, the less you actually write (unless of course your name is Clint or Jacqui, my patron saints of blogging). I’ll post some actual content soon, I promise.

Starbucks Density

Clint posted about his Starbucks Density (SbD), and was asking for others to share. Sadly, my SbD is 2 (Wabash Landing is more than 5 miles from Owen? What?) It did count the one in the Union and the one where TCBY used to be at Sagamore Parkway & Salisbury Rd. And […]

Meijer Viral Ad?, or How I Filled My Room with Food for $40

Last night, as I was coming back into town, I got a call from Adrienne, a fellow Owen staff member. She said that she had heard from a friend of a sale at Meijer, but one unlike any other sale we’d ever heard of. Supposedly, if you followed certain rules, the food was […]

new jetta pics are out

Autoblog posted pics of the new Jetta, as found on VW’s media page. I’m really not a fan though - the nose was fine before they messed with it, and the mid and rear body has more of an overall shape like the Corolla S. I do think that the previous design was […]

pass on jay-c’s, also

Reasons why after one visit, I will stay away from Jay-C (supermarket in Columbus) (only Eric will understand this, but whatever]: When in Jay-C, don’t look for anything where you’d expect it to be. It’s actually where you’d least expect to find it.I’ve never seen a store that flat-out RAN OUT OF BANANAS.This is not […]

pass on the passat

A while ago Herschell wrote about the new Passat. Although the car does have some new features and an attractive build, I think there are better choices on the market for the same (or a little more) money. VW has been doing very poorly in sales over the last 2 years, has faced […]
