Thoughts of spring

Now comes news that the Wake Forest University chapter of my old fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon, is in trouble for allegedly abusing a pig. Understand here that I am not making light of or condoning animal abuse, or rowdy frat behavior in general, when I say that "drunk, dehydrated, sunburned and unconscious" was pretty well how I spent three of my four spring trimesters at Davidson. But that was 20 years ago, when "Animal House" was still new, legal drinking ages were younger and MADD didn't yet exist (if I recall correctly, which I might not).

Misfire

Thanks to David for this link, which suggests either that we’re grossly overestimating the cost of damages from computer viruses or else we’re spending a lot of money on the wrong things. Or both.

… but this satire site is

So I’m cruising blogworld while eating lunch at my desk and I run across a nifty little site called … accidents aren’t naughty … , whose author, Jeff, includes a little item modestly titled “scraping the bottom of the blogdex,” among whose suggested sites to visit was the priceless, Swiftian Landover Baptist Web site. If you love God and hate hypocrisy, hie thee hence with all haste.
