University of Houston Alumni Organization. Monday, August 11, 2008 We had a our monthly meeting today and had the opportunity to talk with Barry Adams, our current President and CEO of the HAO. We discussed many changes the University has taken to move UH to a Tier 1 school and Barry has joined us to help the efforts with the HAO constituent groups, like us, the NSM Alumni Association (NSMAA). A few questions came up around the room and I wanted to get some feedback from who ever reads this post. 1. Have you even heard about at the HAO? 2. Are a member of the HAO? If not, why? 3. Are you interested in joining and participating? If not, why? Here are my answers... 1. Not at all until I went to a CougarCS meeting to talk about the RoboCode competition at JPMorganChase. Here, Danny introduced us to the NSMAA scholarships given out each year. This year alone, we gave over $50,000 distributed equally among the colleges of the NSM. 2. I paid for a one-year membership after my first year membership was up. I just recently signed up myself for a lifetime membership. 3. I was interested the instant I joined a board meeting. I've been the Treasurer for about a year and this is what prompted me to give something back to UH. Besides, I am where I because I'm went to UH. 0 comments
Arrested Development - Great Show! Tuesday, July 29, 2008 WHY did Fox cancel this show?! Gob and Buster were my favorite characters. (Watch it FREE on Hulu) Buster: "Where'd Annyong get that juice box?" Annyong: "Annyong." Buster: "I decided to sleep in the car so my snoring wouldn't bother you. And I left that recording of my snoring so you wouldn't know I'm gone." Gob: "Hey, maybe that's it. Maybe we should do to the Japanese what they do in their movies. Build a miniature city, put it outside the window, tell them it's far away. It'll look real if you squint. God knows they're squinters." Gob: "Hey, guy. They tell me you're the actor who plays Marta's brother, Tio." Spanish actor: "Como?" Gob: "Oh, you're gonna be in a coma, all right." Labels: arrested development, funny, shows 1 comments
NYTimes.com - Double Click a Word, Try It. Monday, July 28, 2008 I just read a short article on 43 Folders and wanted to read the full article. As I was reading, I came across a familiar word, but did not really remember the full meaning, so I wanted to look it up. I scrolled over and double clicked "dilettante". BAM a window pops up and I think it's another annoying advertisement. I glance over and there is a full definition of the word! Nothing but awesome, so I had to post it ASAP. I tried clicking other words, small ones long ones, people, places, everything I could think of, but Answers.com find almost everything. The coolest feature is the query does not just search the word, but instead the context the word is used. For example, try clicking on "LONDON" at the very beginning. FAILED! But it's okay. It is only returning what it was told to query on. I wish some other websites like CodeBetter.com and other development websites had something similar to this, but instead pointing to API/SDK documentation and stuff. Labels: random 0 comments
