Now this is news!

Well no, not really it's not. lets get something straight here people: you're not going to find the story of the century here, if you want news you can go to CNN.com, MSNBC.com or even Yahoo, or, you could just turn on the TV. no...here you're going to find a blog. A blog about stuff I want to talk about. And when you're taking 4 politics/history related classes, you really don't care about reporting MORE news.

So, what am I going to talk about today you might ask? Well, the only thing that comes to mind is procrastination. because it's all I've really been doing today. Okay, technically...damn, I just realized that by doing this I'm not procrastinating anymore.

Hmmm, guess we need a new subject.

Well, I'm not really sure what to talk about honestly, nothing has really peeved me today, nothing real exciting has happened. So um, I dunno want to tell you folks. I've just been playing around on websites that let me design my own computers, and when they fail, I go to sites where I can buy the parts for said computers.

Not that I have the money for it, and on a certain level, there's the memory of the class I took last semester and some of the books I read, namely "Silicon Valley of Dreams" which I recommend as a great book for worker testimony to the terrible conditions and terrible practices used by the people who run the corporations in the Silicon Valley area. It doesn't paint a pretty picture by any means. Still, I feel the book does lack in examples, it provides one or two examples and much worker testimony from that company, and extrapolates it into the entirety of Silicon Valley.

I tend to dislike books that use examples like this. mainly because well, I like examples, I like excessive examples. I like so many examples that there's really very little need to even discuss your point as two or three lines about each example will clearly illustrate that what you are talking about is in fact well, a fact.

So anyway, if you're interested in never buying a computer again, I suggest you read Silicon Valley of Dreams, you'll be enlightened, disheathened, and your pocketbook will feel it next time you want to buy anything electronic. From a cheap Tomagatchi toy to a home computer.
