I bought Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 over the weekend, as Sony recently dropped the price down to a measly eighteen bucks. I figure if I'm going to destroy my academic credibility with video games, I might as well do... Keep reading this entry »
Yesterday some fog rolled in, filling the glens and dales and embracing the world in ambiguity. I grabbed my camera and shot some photos. I just now remembered, after all these years, what I did. It is a gallery.... Keep reading this entry »
I was having trouble. I had a sour look on my face. I don't like being told I don't know anything, and that anything I know is lies, lies, lies. What's more, it was logic, my fine friend of so... Keep reading this entry »
In Fiction class on Tuesday we were given a finger-nimbling exercise. We were to look at this painting by Vermeer, an 18th century Dutch artist, and describe it. We were to write a paragraph that stayed focused within the painting,... Keep reading this entry »
I'm in the process of generating the Wooch! photo gallery. Right now I'm doing it in weblog form, which may not be the best idea but I really like the way Movable Type automatically generates thumbnails. If I could get... Keep reading this entry »
Once upon a time called NOW! My work philosophy this year has been "Do more with more." I bought a PDA to keep myself on track and organized, and I practically live out of the thing. The date book tells... Keep reading this entry »
My friend David is studying abroad in Japan right now, and he was thoughtful enough to set up a digital journal where he will recount his adventures with super robots and zombie attacks and sushi bars. So far there is... Keep reading this entry »
Last night I got ripped at the Buena Vista. The Buena Vista is a two-faced outlet up on the hill, with a splendid and expensive restaurant upstairs and a drunk lounge in the down. The Lounge is a classic iron... Keep reading this entry »

Every website should have a theme song. The guys at Chopping Block have a particularly good theme song, done by They Might Be Giants. You can even download the song in mp3 format. But Dane, you ask. Where is your... Keep reading this entry »
I'm trying to write an English paper but it isn't happening. To grease my wheels of discussion I'm gonna ramble on a bit about classical music. I've have a soft spot for classical music, but it has always felt so... Keep reading this entry »
On Tuesday we were settling in to discuss literature in our Writing Fiction class when we were interrupted by a dance party in Ordean Court. We glanced out the fourth floor window to see that a shiny Coke trailer had... Keep reading this entry »
Steven Den Beste lays out his case for Iraq, which strangely enough sounds like a thorough analysis of root-causes. Those poor, poor liberals, who still think that answering the question "Why do they hate us?" will avoid any spilled blood... Keep reading this entry »
I really don't like to write about writing my webpage, as it ends up being as exciting as telling my friends how I fold my laundry. I cannot even imagine visiting such an evil upon my fellow man. "Well, I... Keep reading this entry »
I've found it! I have discovered the secret of weblogging, and will now type it here for the betterment of all! No more sorrowful days will be whiled away hacking at lines of code and prying words out of the... Keep reading this entry »
While driving along the North Shore there are two distinct houses. One has been there for as long as I can remember. It sits perched high atop a cliff, yet the house's build is low and sprawling and manages to... Keep reading this entry »
What is with people who use their chainsaws at 9:00 in the morning on the weekend?... Keep reading this entry »
The following is transcribed from a journal entry on June 29, 2002. Seeing as how I ran four entries during the summer, I feel a game of catch-up may be in order. Andy (a friend from camp who is a... Keep reading this entry »
My professors seem amused by my conviction that invading Iraq is a good idea. What makes it all the more frustrating is I’m using the exact same tools my professors gave me, logic and reason, and yet we are arriving... Keep reading this entry »
Woke up this morning with firm resolve. Blood like steel. The uncertainties had been replaced by absolutes overnight. I caught myself singing a heavy dance beat of unknown origins, and knew I needed to spoon some music in my ears... Keep reading this entry »
There’s been a bit of cynical flak floating in the air about the Never Forget refrain. Get off of it, they say. I can’t possibly forget, and with this incessant repetition it just dulls the meaning. Leave me alone. Wipe... Keep reading this entry »
Ahem. Everything looks and feels the same, only it's now repackaged under a different name. When soft drink companies try to sucker you into thinking 7-Up doesn't taste like bland-bubble-sugar-water and would be a tasty change of pace, they at... Keep reading this entry »

The All Mighty Senators concert was epic, and is further proof for my conviction that this year will turn out to be the finest in the history of mankind... at least for me, I think. I'm still ironing out the... Keep reading this entry »
I usually don't link to other sites because I'm too lazy to write the HTML code required to hyperlink. However, today I make an exception because I am horribly addicted to this site: Quote Database It is a collection of... Keep reading this entry »
I finally got a chance to hit up Lake Superior for some windsurfing. It was different than the wicked session I had on Waconia a week ago. The Waconia Session offered the balls-to-the-wall adrenaline rush that hooked me to windsurfing,... Keep reading this entry »

Ok, let’s see if I can clear some things up. If a person acts for a bad reason, his action is unjustified. Sometimes the action is small and without great consequence. Let’s say I get up and dance to Alva... Keep reading this entry »
I got hypnotized last night by the great Frederick Winter. People are always curious what it felt like, whether I remember what I did, etc. I remember most everything, though it feels like I'm looking at it through a slight... Keep reading this entry »
The universe has four fundamental forces: the Strong Force, the Electromagnetic Force, the Weak Force and the Gravitational Force. The Strong Force acts against the repulsion of protons within an atom and holds the nucleus together. The Electronmagentic Force obeys... Keep reading this entry »
