My buddy Josh's older brother, Ben, told me something interesting a few months back that I chalked up to some urban legend. I find out later it was actually true.

Suppose you go into a bar. And suppose you're on a diet. So you do what every good dieter is supposed to do, and you order a light beer, thinking that a big savings in calories will be your reward for suffering the horrible taste. However, alcoholic beverages aren't required to provide nutrition facts, so you're never really sure how much you're saving. Well, I'll tell you how much:
|
|
| |
|
The difference between regular beer and light beer is less than two tortilla chips.
|
|
| |
|
And here's the proof. Anheuser Busch's very own site gives nutrition information for all of their beers. I'll take the most popular beer in America: Budweiser, and it's a little brother (or sister), Bud Light.
|
|
| |
|
Budweiser: 145 calories, 10.6 grams of carbohydrates |
|
| |
|
Bud Light: 110 calories, 6.6 grams of carbohydrates |
|
| |
|
Difference per bottle: 35 calories, 4.0 grams of carbohydrates |
|
| |
|
Now, consider your basic Tostitos tortilla chips. The actual nutriotion facts are pictured on the right. Note that a single serving is "about 7 chips". |
 |
|
Tortilla Chips: 140 calories, 20 grams of carbohydrates |
|
Per two chips: 40 calories, 5.8 grams of carbohydrates
|
|
For comparison, I should point out that this is also roughly equivalent to three pretzels, four potato chips, about eight pieces of plain popcorn, or 12 jelly beans. The lesson here: if you put down that handful of chips, you can trade in a couple of light beers for something that tastes a little less like piss.

For a long time I've been generating a list of philanthropic things that I would do if I was ever fabulously rich. This section exists because if I don't write them down, I start to forget.

- Buy every available building (and continue to buy as they become available) within a two mile radius around campus, and rent out rooms at cost for students. That is, I would rent them out for the exact same price it costs to maintain them. Voila, students can live near campus for less than $200/month.
- Buy commercial time during various popular prime time shows. Instead of showing advertising, I give brief instructions on how to permanently disable clippy, the office assistant, in Microsoft Office. Everyone hates clippy, but many don't know enough to figure out how to get rid of him. "I'm not writing a fucking letter!" --Me
- Cover much of Antarctica with effecient solar panels, supply power at cost to the entire world. Alright, maybe I would need to be a trillionaire to pull this one off.

Sometimes when something cool happens, you get pictures (like my pre-Spring-Break party on a Wednesday night), and sometimes you don't (like when your girlfriend goes streaking around Channing Circle. "Woo! Boobs!")... Anyways, I don't know what I was getting at, but here's a picture that Ed insisted I post on the site: |

A friend of mine did something incredibly geeky the other day when he sent me the Matlock theme song (sorry, Rickey, ya'll can't deny it). Yes, that's right, the Matlock theme song, as in, the theme to Matlock. |
|
| |
|
Since then, I've found myself going through the stages of Matlock. First, I thought it was hilarious, and played it for Pradeep. Then, as the song was finishing, I just barely avoided throwing it in the trash. Next, I started to accept Matlock, listening to the song casually, and playing it for guests (who were back in step #1, amusement). Lastly, I've reached the state of remorse. I don't know why I like the Matlock theme, but I'm not comfortable with it. This is all very upsetting. I'm afraid that I might end up sending the Matlock theme to someone else, some day, at which time, I will have hit rock bottom. |

Milton, the arsonist, and stapler-phile, who works pro bono in Office Space, is now, officially, a classic character. When Angie sent me the wave file of him saying, "Excuse me. Yeah, uh, I believe you have my stapler," it reminded me that the guy is still funny, and always will be. Even though the movie came out in 1999, Milton's violent antisocial antics and quiet meekness are still funny today. |
 |
|
You might also recognize Stephen Root, the actor who played Milton, from News Radio, in which he played an even cooler character, Jimmy James. Hats off to you, Milton. |

I got this nasty little script from BugTraq, and it only works on IE, but most people use IE anyway. You can expect to see more IE later. |

You might have heard of this from twelve-year-olds on message boards under the heading:
"All your base are belong to us!
All your base are belong to us!
All your base are belong to us!
All your base are belong to us!
All your base are belong to us!
All your base are belong to us!
All your base are belong to us!"
