Nose to the Grindstone

What's an advantage of downloading 100GB of mp3s in three months?
I can discover interesting music I didn't even know I had, six months after the fact.
On a couple occasions over the summer, I asked my brother "Hey, this sounds cool. Who is it?" "It's XYZ. I got them from your computer."

Thought Universe sounds interesting. I'm not quite sure what electroncia subgenre they fall in, but they're sort of like Matmos, though a bit less seizure-inducing. Sort of spacy, somewhat experimental, fairly austere. Lots of little blips.

In other news, Alt. Rock and Grunge are good at keeping the coding focus. Since several people "came down with the flu" today, my Computer Graphics professor removed the deadline for Assignment 7, though Assignment 8 depends on it. Boy am I glad I didn't stay up all night.

Now I can focus entirely on my philosophy paper (due today) as I skip class all day. I hope our OS group can sufficiently wave our hands about our lack of significant project progress. And hey, I might even have time to figure out how to use Java's StreamTokenizer before I leave for the ACM Regional Programming Contest tomorrow.

Deadlines? Bring 'em on.

Rox0r. We just touched on this in my Hume class. I've got issues with your second-to-last sentence there, but I dunno if you want to get into that or if you've had enough of this topic for a while.

I have issues with it to. I don't think practically we can describe what makes someone a hottie. However, like most actual examples in the literature on philosophy of concepts, I made a sweeping assumption to allow for theoretical cleanliness. And it certainly seems reasonable that someone can come to have a pretty good idea of who someone else thinks is a hottie.

Looks like we're on the same page then. :-)
