John should have done this, but the majority of John's time is dedicated to www.project-celery.com. You should go check it out, and expect a full writeup when it is done.

After 2.5 years of hard work (when you have a day job), I finally graduated with a M.A in Educational Administration.

It will be official when Rider approves it (hopefully in two weeks)

Update: Apparently I have an incomplete. I have three outstanding things. Hopefully they will be turned in tomorrow.

I'm really sad to see Pownce go. I am a web 2.0 whore, but I really fell in love with Pownce. The community was great, moreso than any other virtual community. In trying to explain the difference between twitter and pownce, I offered people the following advice. Twitter was simple updates that are quick and informative. Pownce offered the media rich long winded updates with threaded replies. Your question is probably someone elses, and an answer helped everyone.

Monday's I have my final class at Rider. Now, I do hate Rider, but I have to do it. Using a Fark Cliche, if I'm writing about it, hilarity ensued. It starts me walking into the professor's office.

As I walk in the two professors, in unison, say "Hey Chaimtime," in a very happy happy voice.

My response was "Is this your way of telling me I failed my comps without making me feel bad?"

Their response was "No, but why didn't you show up to class." After a blank stare on my face my professor says, "Oh, you didn't know."

My favorite non chaimtime site, www.consumerist.com is for sale. Someone needs to buy them.

I need to lose weight again. When I was on Atkins there was something I noticed that I think I can duplicate. When I was on Atkins I lost weight mainly by NOT eating out. Because very few restaurants were "carb friendly" I made it a point not to eat out. Well I want to do the same thing again. I think I can lose weight by only eating what is in my house. I may eat more, but in the end, I'm aware of all food that goes into my body. I won't go to quick check and get a sandwich.

I originally promised Haim this to be a 2 parter, but I thought it would look like one candidate was really superior to the other, so I toned it down a bit and made it one article.

Originally, I told Chaim this would be a 2 part piece, but I decided that posting them individually would give people the wrong idea.

So here it is, Election 2008 Discussion.

I took the video for Tim. It is hilarious, and very well done.

Chaim came up with the idea for the title of this one.

I am now discovering that doing a fireplace surround is actually a bit more difficult than I figured.

Sigh... I really do wonder why I pay $149 (and soon $169) a month for my association.
