Guess What?… St. Mary’s now has an official Mozilla Campus Rep!
Nov 23rd
Oh snap dude!, Owen is now an official Mozilla Campus Representative! Yeah, that’s right. I could possibly be the only Mozilla Campus Rep here in Minnesota, or at least in Winona, MN. Now that I am an official rep, I have several responsibilities to fulfill. Count ‘em off kiddies:
- I will, to the best of my ability, attempt to convert those now currently worshiping the devil (using Internet Explorer) to worshiping God (using Firefox)
- I think I get a free t-shirt. Sweet
- Although I didn’t specify in the survey, I just might start a Firefox club here at school. Please leave comments about what you think of the name of the club should be. Please don’t say ‘Club Firefox’ or ‘The Firefox Club’
- St. Mary’s might have some super cool Firefox events now ; p
- Portray Internet Explorer as most evilest thing on the Earth
I guess the easiest way to start spreading Firefox is to try and get everyone in my dorm to use the best browser in the world. From there, I will try and spread it even more but I obviously don’t have enough resources currently to make the whole campus to convert yet. I know that a lot of people in my dorm are pretty technologically unsavvy so those will be the hardest people to convert. The More >
6 Slice Goodness
Oct 18th
Well, today my bread expired so I went crazy and made a six-slice peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Observe:
6 Slice PB & J
This is definitely one of my finer feats in life; probably up there in the final four. You might ask me why I just happen to have six slices of bread on my person. Let me explain. So, last week was midterm break or more P.C.: “October Recess.” As my luck would have it, all facilities serving food on campus were closed — forever or at least until the resumption of school. So, I asked my friend with a car to drive me to the local Hy-Vee. For those of you kiddies not around/in the Midwest area of the United States, Hy-Vee is a grocery store just like Ralph’s, Stater Brothers, Albertsons, etc. At the Hy-Vee, I stocked up on food for over the break. I got several cans of Hy-Vee brand vegetable beef and chicken noodle soup, Hy-Vee brand Easy-Mac style macaroni, SpongeBob fruit snacks, Hy-Vee brand all in one peanut butter and jelly (as seen in the picture), three packages of beef flavor Top Ramen, three packages of oriental flavor Top Ramen, frosted oatmeal cookies, a loaf of enriched white bread, and a four pack of this morning’s More >
Some Things I’ve Noticed In College…
Sep 19th
OK, so I’ve been here for, like, a month I guess and I would like to point out some things that are different in college than in regular high school or grade school life. I’ll list them with numbers so you kiddies can keep track of how many things I’ve listed. Alright, here it goes (and keep your grubby hands off of this):
- On week nights, I usually stay up until 12–1 AM whereas in high school I would go to bed at around 10–10:30. I guess it’s partly becuase my mom isn’t yelling at me to go to bed. The other part is that none of my classes start at 7:15 in the morning. I can afford to stay up later becuase most of my classes start at, like, 8:45 and 10:45 so I can use those delayed class times to sleep in an extra hour or two, or three. The weekends usually include sleep time at 2–3 AM. On the computer more.
- I get to eat a real breakfast. Back in high school, I got up so early to get ready and drive to school that I really didn’t have time to eat a good breakfast. Not so here in college. I can get breakfast from, I think it’s 7–10:30 so I usually go half an hour before my More >
