Basically because I suck at thinking of cool stuff to write and or rant about I have created a new set of posts called “Asides.” They are smaller little posts generally focusing on a link to another site that is more aptly prepared to create solid content. I highly encourage anyone who likes checking out MahiX2.com to check out the Asides.

This guy has officially owned on the UK. He has taken graffiti to the next level. Check out the pictures.

Whew! It has been TOO long!

To Re-cap, since the last post some notable items are as follows:

• Made serious progress on ASASU’s Undergraduate Student Government Website.
• Had a good laugh or two over at The CupCakeLuvr Blog.
• Rode out a HELL of a roller coaster ride in a few classes.
• Read (too much) about Web 2.0
• And as an example, started using some new web apps like Slide
• Oh and I can’t forget Trackslife which fits nicely under my inner yearning to be a GTD master.
• Also one I have been eyeing for a while is Feedburner - (insert plug for joining the revolution of RSS here… seriously, if you don’t know what RSS is, get with it.)
• Dove head first into the “job market” by handing out 30ish resumes, having about a dozen first round interviews so far with a couple second rounders scheduled and a bunch of companies whom I have yet to hear back from. (In fact, I am tracking this whole process with Trackslife)
• As usual, am thinking about a MahiX2.com redesign… CSS Reboot sounds fun (and I’ll be able to plug in Slide, possibly tidy up WordPress with a few plug-ins (like Draftlets), or possibly even switch back to the ever improving MovableType.)
• Speaking of MahiX2.com, I recently got cruel.com’d when they linked to the ‘ole post of the Planes, Trains, and Plantains: the Story of Oedipus english paper. Cruel.com brought in a good 3000 unique visitors in a matter of 3 days also leading to links from other sites… and also leading to an influx in comments by random ass readers (Welcome btw).
• Was treated like a king by Newegg.com (story to come in a seperate post)
• Surely more, but this should hold you over for a while.

Cheers, and thanks for venturing back. Hopefully I can get on some kind of posting pattern going again.

If you have been in a cave this morning, turn on the news to hear all about the terrorist attacks in London.

I personally have been keeping an eye on cnn.com for my updates. While doing so I have thought about a few things.

First, is it bad that “post 9/11″ (quoted to emphasize the cliche) today’s terrorist attacks in London seem drab? What will it take to make the world once again yell collectively “aye dios mio!”?

Second, from the cnn.com QuickVote, do the London explosions increase your concern for personal safety? Today’s explosions certainly haven’t increased mine.

Now the results of this QuickVote on the other hand increase my curiousity if nothing else. Can this be right? With 35308 votes cast, is there really a difference of only 14?! That is a one onehundreth of a percent difference!… .0001!

/Welcome back to MahiX2… more changes on the way as usual.

I was going to write a post about the lacking coverage and attention given to the Iditarod Dog Sled Race. Unfortunately I got sick of trying to express what I really wanted to say about it so I decided to can the post all together in favor of this brief mention and a link to a story about it on ESPN.com
