Walking into ECS (that’s Engineering & Computer Science building for non-CSULB-Engineering students) this morning waiting for the elevator, I found this little flyer… I usually don’t look at the bulletin board but I just looked to my right and this white paper flyer with full-page red text really caught my eye. I knew I had to read it. Sooo, take note — make your flyers/ads in red, bold text.
Dell just announced a recall… my laptop’s battery is part of it. I should take that out before it does happen.
I just ordered a replacement.
Wow, 4.1 million laptops worldwide are affected.
Sony, I blame you. (they made the batteries)
E01 Charlie Gets Crippled

E02 The Gang Goes Jihad

It’s the full transcript of Stephen Colbert’s speech at Knox College.
The following is the full transcript of Stephen Colbert’s June 3, 2006, Commencement Address at Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois.
Stephen Colbert [Pours water into a glass at the podium, splashes face and back of neck] …
Thank you. Thank you very much. First of all, I’m facing a little bit of a conundrum here. My name is Stephen Colbert, but I actually play someone on television named Stephen Colbert, who looks like me, and who talks like me, but who says things with a straight face he doesn’t mean. And I’m not sure which one of us you invited to speak here today. So, with your indulgence, I’m just going to talk, and I’m going to let you figure it out.
I wanted to say something about the Umberto Eco quote that was used earlier from “The Name of the Rose.” That book fascinated me because in it these people are killed for trying to get out of this library a book about comedy, Aristotle’s commentary on comedy. And what’s interesting to me is one of the arguments they have in the book is that comedy is bad because nowhere in the New Testament does it say that Jesus laughed. It says Jesus wept, but never did he laugh.
