http://thingsiknow.net/ Student. Gamer. Designer. Relaunched and ready to roll. en Copyright 2008 Tue, 17 Jun 2008 02:58:39 -0500 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Guy Kawasaki for getting my feed on Alltop.com! If nothing else, it'll encourage me to post more frequently - with meatier content. :) If you're unfamiliar with it, Alltop is a news site to end all news sites. It grabs headlines from news outlets to personal blogs and compiles them in a single page for each category. For example, http://gaming.alltop.com/ lists all the latest headlines from a ton of gaming websites (GameDaily's on there, too!) And http://twentysomething.alltop.com/ (where I've been listed) features blogs written by us kids in our twenties. It's a site for people who don't like/know RSS (Really Simple Syndication). Maybe your mom doesn't know how to use Google Reader. Maybe you just want all your sports news in one place. The ones I check daily: LifeHacks Men Gaming Social Media and now, TwentySomething]]> http://thingsiknow.net/2008/06/now-featured-on-twentysomethin.html http://thingsiknow.net/2008/06/now-featured-on-twentysomethin.html Misc Tue, 17 Jun 2008 02:58:39 -0500 Just tested out Spore's Creature Creator. He's so cute! See him in action over at the GameDaily YouTube Channel

Spore looks pretty amazing. It's been a long wait but all signs point to it being worth it. Look for the demo download on BigDownload.com tomorrow!]]> http://thingsiknow.net/2008/06/meet-chester.html http://thingsiknow.net/2008/06/meet-chester.html GameDaily Misc Mon, 16 Jun 2008 19:56:18 -0500 Willis: dude have you heard of bloc party?

These are the reasons I'm quitting after working for less than a week: 1) The pay is shit. 2) It takes an hour to drive to Santa Monica, and another hour back (given mediocre traffic). 3) The pay is shit and I only get about 15 hours a week. 4) Parking costs $3-7 per day I work. 5) Trying to hawk store credit cards and upsell make me want to shoot myself. 6) Standing for 3 hours at a time (with 15 min breaks) in heels is death. And I *like* heels. 7) A manager must escort you to the front door and inspect your handbag every time you leave the store. NO JOKE. 8) The pay is shit. All in all, it's not worth it, considering that after gas, taxes, and parking, I'm making less than $100 a week. http://thingsiknow.net/2008/05/my-week-long-retail-experience.html http://thingsiknow.net/2008/05/my-week-long-retail-experience.html Misc Fri, 30 May 2008 17:10:34 -0500 Monday, May 5 - Finish Sociology research proposal by 5pm.
