Newsday: "The explosive photos of abuse in an Iraqi prison drive home a defining fact of 21st century life -- that the pervasiveness of digital photography and the speed of the Internet make it easier to see into dark corners previously out of reach for the mass media."
John Perry: "Procrastinators seldom do absolutely nothing; they do marginally useful things, like gardening or sharpening pencils or making a diagram of how they will reorganize their files when they get around to it. Why does the procrastinator do these things? Because they are a way of not doing something more important. If all the procrastinator had left to do was to sharpen some pencils, no force on earth could get him do it. However, the procrastinator can be motivated to do difficult, timely and important tasks, as long as these tasks are a way of not doing something more important." To be quite honest, I think Tabulas arose from this concept of "structured procrastination;" I put off studying for classes to build this site.
The OC Drinking Game: Very interesting. I tried to watch the OC, but I just couldn't get into it. I'm not into dramas where they try to pass off middle-aged people as "teenagers." The only reason I would even remotely think about watching the OC is for that cute girl ... blast I've forgotten her name...
