A "grand" oversight...
Today along with many of the esteemed ASU administrators, I temporarily became one of the highest paid students when I was paid $1310 for 12 hours of work! Nearly 300 dollars went in taxes before ASU realized its mistake and pulled out its money from my account. Thankfully the business manager came and explained the situation before giving me my payslip, and saved me from a potential heart attack. I guess it is all part of the pay raise they are giving to all ASU admnistrators..ahem..ahem..
Waaarm and sunny Arizona
If you read the jokes about Arizona somewhere on this site (scroll down and you might just see some of them) and think that Arizona is a prototype model for hell, you should come over to Tempe now. While the rest of America is freezing and suffering sub-zero temperatures, we can go out wearing thin clothes, bask in the sunshine and ogle at the famous ASU girls who seem to be forever in danger of spilling out of their sub-micro clothes. Life is beautiful!
iDevices from !Apple
Most people I know either love Apple or hate it. Here's a collection of cool iDevices that Apple would never make. On the other end of the creativity spectrum is a genetic researcher from New Hampshire who carries around the entire human genome in his pocket in his.. iPod.
How to create a CD Toaster
How do you destroy a CD completely so that no one on earth can retrieve data from it again? Simple, just pop it in the microwave for 12 seconds or so, and watch the nice display of sparks while it fries your CD. Pop out the CD and admire the beautiful work of art on it. Now you know what to do with all those CDs that AOL sends you. I've been itching to try this method for some time, but the microwave at my apartment got fried (nopes, I don't know how it happened) so I am waiting for the new microwave to arrive before creating my very own works of art. If you still need inspiration, check out these works of art by these untiring students of AOL-art.
On a sidenote, here's my favourite Apple iDevice up there...
