Compuciety Class.

Wee, I'm gonna have so much fun in 350. Mostly because the guy sounds pretty cool, even though the work is on the verge of cool work turned suck. Although no pertinance to anyone but myself, there's attendance, journaling, ethics case, and oral report, all ten percent... And then two exams and a team project worth thirty percent each.

(You know, if I was a teacher and wanted to harp about attendance... I'd give less points off if a student told me that they were going to be out if they didn't plan on coming to class. I mean, I understand, sometimes you have those days where you don't give a flying fuck. But just tell the teacher, it's common courtesy, even if you have a bullshit reason. I'd say even less points for an elaborate explanation/story, however fake, of why you won't be or didn't come, and what you'd do to make up the time in addition to seeing me face-to-face about it. That's just me...)

He asked us this question about computers, technology, and the military. All I could envision was Tom Clancy things, a digital world, and lots of hexagons.

Recommendation given: take the data mining class. What is data mining anyway? Is that like looking for data about data? Metadata? Patterns in data? How to handle vast amounts of information, maybe? Maybe, just maybe.

Oh and a random idea. Sometimes those paper-based address look pretty cool. Yes, even those Sanrio or Hello Kitty ones. So I was thinking, why not make cutesy templates for Palm devices that look just like those paper books. Wee, so purty.
