More Videos

Okay, I know I've made a lot of posts today. But I don't hear anyone complaining. So here's two more videos, both taken by my friend Christine Baker.



Crazy K-Steck

If you're a true fan of this site, you'll probably recognize this video from one of my picture albums. It's so good, though, that it deserves a repeat appearance. Thanks to the magic of Google Video, you can enjoy a crazy Kristen Steck from the comfort of this blog.

[DupyUpdate] The Big Bash

Finally, after almost two months, I've posted an album with pictures from the Big Bash. You can find the pictures in DupyAlbums.

Cougar Baseball

Last night I went to watch the Cougar baseball team play UW in Seattle. I met Weston, Kristian, and Jon Conrad there and we had a lot of fun cheering on the Cougs. The impressive thing was that at least a third of the crowd was wearing crimson. It was an exciting, close game, and we ended up winning 3-2. Jay Miller got one single, making him the all-time leader in hits for WSU. You can read the recap of the game here. After the game, Weston's folks took us out to eat at the Ram.

[DupyUpdate] Jaron's Corner

My brother Jaron and I have been talking about getting him some space on this website for a while now. I decided it would be easiest for him to make his pages in the form of a wiki, since he doesn't know any HTML. So check out Jaron's Corner.

[DupyLinks] An Inconvenient Truth - Al Gore

[http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/22/movies/22gore.html?_r=1&oref=slogin]

I think that when someone gets bored of being the "Inventor of the Internet," they turn to bigger and better things. For Al Gore, this means becoming both a movie star and an environmental crusader.

Vicente Fox, the president of Mexico, will be visiting Washington state this weekend. He is spending time in Yakima and on the West Side, talking to people and promoting his new trumpet mouthpiece, the Vicente Fox Ey Carumba 3000c4a. Or maybe not.

[DupyLinks] Office 2007 would cost Massachusetts four times Open Office: Quinn

[http://www.itwire.com.au/content/view/3773/106/]

The state of Massachusetts is considering switching from Microsoft Office to OpenOffice. In this article, it is predicted that doing so would cost them four times less money than upgrading to the new version of Microsoft's suite of programs. I think this shows that open source software is a great solution for organizations and businesses that need to save money and can afford to sacrifice a small bit of functionality in their software.

[DupyLinks] Google keeps eye on Vista search

[http://networks.silicon.com/webwatch/0,39024667,39158821,00.htm]

Google CEO Eric Schmidt: "There is room for more than one winner. Each of the strategies can coexist independent of the others."

I think that Google is much more competitive than they sound. Yes, I know that their motto is "Don't be Evil," but I think they also believe in "Don't be Dumb." Brin and Schmidt are smart guys, and they know that they are in big-time competition with Microsoft.

[DupyLinks] Reuters AlertNet - FEATURE-What price nature? Bogs $6,000, reefs $10,000

[http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L20346902.htm]

"Dasgupta said one problem for Eco-nomics was that nature is inherently priceless -- without it all life would die."

This is an interesting concept, applying monetary value to ecological assets. The figures sound like very conservative estimates to me, though. I agree with the Dasgupta quote above.

Congratulations to the Czech Republic for getting on the Human Rights Council. It would be fun to represent them at next year's MUN. Being on a brand new human rights commission would be pretty exciting.

[DupyLinks] Russian Leader Urges Steps to Lift Birthrate

[http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/10/world/europe/10cnd-russia.html?pagewanted=1&ei=5088&en=9bb03afc4beb5c44&ex=1304913600&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss]

We hear so much about the overpopulation of the world these days. India and China have booming populations, and my biology professor said that the human species is currently operating above its carrying capacity. This story, then, was a little surprising to me. The Russian government actually seems quite concerned that their population is going to collapse and they won't have a country anymore!

[DupyLinks] The RFID Hacking Underground

[http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.05/rfid.html?pg=1&topic=rfid&topic_set=]

This is a neat article about the security vulnerabilities of RFID technology. I think that this means of identification will become widespread in the future, so it is important to take a look at the security concerns before it gets widely implemented.
