This weekend I spent an abundant amount of time doing somewhat worthless work. I spent alot of time setting up a bunch of server stuff on my LAPTOP. And after all that I've done, I'm pretty sure it's not getting out. It's alright doing the loopback connections, but because I'm inside a dorm, housing managed network, I dont have access to the routers to do my port forwarding. It was all a foolish idea but I liked setting it all up. Even more foolish was the fact that my laptop runs Windows 7 and I'm using utilities that have been contorted to be ported to Windows. By this fall I'll have a small form factor desktop to bring to my apartment and set up for my final semester of school!

It's fun thinking that this semester is already a quarter over. Which means I have only 7 more class months left to complete my education. It really doesn't seem like I should be as far as I am but it's true what they say, "These days go by so fast." I'm anxious to get out of school so I can start my life. I really do love having my evenings free to do what I pleased. Last summer was great during my internship. This summer I'm working for Qualcomm and hopefully it will be even better because I'll be doing something I enjoy more. I know I'll be homesick though. Or maybe just missing my Jessica. I realize now that I don't really have many plans for my life. Sure the next year of my life is just about set. But I sometimes wonder what I'm going to do with myself after a few years in the workforce and coming home to projects. I love projects. My first couple posts explained that pretty well. The other day I thought of something while walking past some office construction here on campus. I really miss my construction jobs. This computer engineering stuff is the place to be. I enjoy it a lot, but I miss building physical things. I know I'll have plenty of time to do that around the house but the idea of working for habitat for humanity came to mind. I think it would be the perfect thing for me to do.

Well, I'll leave it at that thought.

Jon Stewart, Genius Above Fox News by miles

This, is genius. I may not agree with the language or other programs on Comedy Central, but Jon Stewart, is SO much smarter than the entire Fox news collection together. Watch this,

http://video.foxnews.com/v/4001020/oreilly-vs-stewart#/v/4003531/entire-jon-stewart-interview/?playlist_id=87485 and compare the attitude and analysis of Jon Stewart, compared to Bill O'Reilly. Jon is hilarious at least, BUT he makes so many valid points, expands upon them, doesn't seek to change the subject like BillO to avoid the topic. It's not like BillO was limited on times. They cut 3/4 of the interview anyway. Jon tries to make points and BillO attacks him out of context without addressing the points Jon brings up.

Jon is soooo cool headed. He laughs off so much and brings BillO somehow back down to earth.

I've long hated Fox news for their direct attacks toward people. Not just opinions, but attempts to slander many people. Jon makes fun of people on his show, but they are <5 min jokes, that are clearly jokes.

I can't keep talking. I would go on for days. Jon communicates my opinions very well, check it out please. If you're really interested in my thoughts, compare the full interview to the parts that BillO shows and see what Fox really wants to communicate.

Check it out, humor me and leave me a comment, I want to know what you think.
