I H.E.A.R.T. Google Docs

I have a final exam that's due on Monday, October 1st, and decided to begin using Google Docs (GG), an online, web-based word processor, and to save all my documents online. There are a few reasons for this decision, some of which I hope are obvious.

There are a few "limitations" with GD (i.e. headers, footers, page numbering) that I have yet to figure out, or that might not exist, but it's stuff I might be able to live without.

The main drawback with Microsoft Word, which is the program to be replaced by GD, are the countless features that I don't (or will never) use. Plus the files created with Word are stored on my hard drive, which if my computer is stolen or broken my files might be lost forever. And let's not forget the elephant in the room--Word isn't free, GD is.

Rex Grossman of the Chicago Bears will be replaced by Brian Griese.


The Chicago Bears are going to make a change at QB!

It's too late, however.

According to my responses to an online questionnaire, here are my top candidates for the 2008 Presidential Election:

1. Theoretical Ideal Candidate (100%)
2. Barack Obama (72%)
3. Alan Augustson (campaign suspended) (72%)
4. Dennis Kucinich (72%)
5. Christopher Dodd (71%)
6. Mike Gravel (71%)
7. Joseph Biden (65%)
8. Al Gore (not announced) (63%)
9. Wesley Clark (not running, endorsed Clinton) (62%)
10.Hillary Clinton (61%)

Happy Talk Like A Pirate Day everyone!

It's a Taco Shop - San Diego



San Diego's oldest taco shop, is featured in this installment of the Burrito Chronicles. El Porvenir is located in (Barrio) Logan, and a friend of mine is responsible for my first visit there.

The carnitas burritos there are unlike a typical carnitas burrito; more tender and juicy because the pork is slow cooked to perfection. The tortillas are freshly made, which add to its delectable nature.

Of the three times I've visited the restaurant, there had been no other customers, which is good because the service was attentive.

According to a New York Times article, more and more people are pursuing advanced degrees because (surprise!) holders' income experience significant lifts.
