I’ve been terribly busy lately, and haven’t had much time to write here. So, now I’ll fill you in on what I’ve been doing for the past week. But first, a few links.
First, here is a nice description of our political system at work. Makes me sick. [Note: Shameless attempt to drive traffic here with a trackback ping]
Next, on to the music industry. Madonna diluted her own trademark by distributing MP3s claiming to be a single from her new album on p2p networks. A few days later, madonna.com was hacked, and MP3s of all the songs on the album were available for download there. Both links found at boing boing.
Now, on to me, I guess. My parents were here this weekend, which was nice. We didn’t really do all that much, which is pretty normal for us. Mostly just hanging around in my apartment, going out to eat, a bit of shopping. Like I said, not much. Oh yeah, I went bowling with them, too. Well, I bowled, they watched. I bowled alright, not great, but I did pick up the 6-7-10 split, which was awesome.
I’ve been using Crest Whitestrips for about 5 days now, and they really are amazing. Unfortunately, I neglected to take “before” pictures, so you’ll just have to take my word for it, but I saw a huge improvement after just three days. I have a little trouble keeping the bottom strip on my teeth, and I sit there drooling all over the place while watching TV, but it’s not really a hassle at all to use them. I’ve heard some reports of them being painful, but they haven’t been for me. I highly recommend them.
I don’t really know what else to say. My life just isn’t that interesting, and most of my time lately has been spent working or watching TV (thanks to the Tivo, of course). Tomorrow night I get to bowl again. The Mets still suck. Nothing else to say.

Careful with the Crest Whitestrips. The chemical concoction on them can make your gums sore with overuse (also depends on the condition of your gums but still be careful). 🙂
those things hurt me!
My Mom gave me a box, so I might try them myself soon. Learning from your mistakes, I’ll post a before picture.
BTW, your RDF file is giving me broken links (ie: “http://www.geekandproud.nethttp://www.geekandproud.net/archives/000162.php“). Thought you might like to know.
Thank you … I heard about the Madonna site hack a couple days after it happened, and I had been searching for a screenshot just to see what they did … and there it is. 🙂
