So I got a B+ in Technical Drawing 1: CAD. Not bad. Now I can officially say I know AutoCAD 2000. Pretty sure that won’t go on my résumé.
However, I received a B+ for my Supervised Experience course, which was turning our student contracts into editable forms. Why? I have no idea. I did the work I was told, and no complaints were given — I was praised in an department-wide email, three of...

Why I Love Sonya Sotomayor
From Wikipedia:
1994 baseball strike
On March 30, 1995, as a district judge, Sotomayor issued the preliminary injunction against Major League Baseball, preventing MLB from unilaterally implementing a new Collective Bargaining Agreement and using replacement players. Her ruling ended the 1994 baseball strike after 232 days, the day before the new season was scheduled to begin. The Second Circuit...
Pathetic

End result: No Decision.
The Giants’ offense is pathetic. Despite a pure gem by the reigning Cy Young award winner, you made it all for nothing. What’s worse, you made Kevin Correia look like Sandy Kofax.
I sure hope that fans stop going to games, and instead come together, rise up as one, and slay the Giants front office.

WatchI’m pretty sure this is why everyone loves the new Star Trek movie. It also means I probably don’t have to see it now.

How Not To Sell (Baseball) Tickets
I just bought Giants tickets for Japanese Heritage Night. As you probably know, I’m not Japanese nor asian (despite what my sister may say), but I am a huge Giants fan and they were giving away a Giants sake set, so it was a must-attend game.
Here’s the price breakdown:
Ticket Price: $20 (x2 tickets)
Giants additional events fees: $2
Web Sales: $18
Convenience Fee: $9

I think Mike Krukow said it best. “This is a sad day for baseball.” I wish this “chemical era” was over, but it’s not. This just goes to show that all the people who are said to “definitely be clean” are definitely not.
That being said, I am extremely happy that this hurts the Dodgers. Unless Juan PIerre has the best games of his entire career, the...
This is Amazing
I want to buy this. It’s apparently $10 from Giant Robot, but it’s not on their page anymore.
