  • Cornell IV Videos

    Here are two videos I took while at the Cornell IV. I was running around a lot and didn’t make as many as I normally do. But here are 2. I have been experimenting with AudioBoo as well and wonder if anyone else is using it for debates. This might be a better (read: faster,…

    In transit to the US National Open at the Claremont colleges, a tournament that expressly forbids the recording of any of the debates in any form, even with consent. There is a waver procedure you must conform with, and insurance that must be purchased before filming anything on the campus. So go the horrors of being a…

  • Uneventful

    Went to Target and the mall today, not much happened. Wrote a bunch this morning, so that was good. I downloaded a bunch of songs last night, some for Kelly and some for me. Tonight I really don’t want to write anything. Hence this very off-topic post. I tried to get started on my extended…
