Email notifications!

So now my blog is equipped with email notification. Fill out the form on the right sidebar to be intantly gratified whenever I post something here. Or you could just read my mind… But email notification is much easier. Unless you’re that mind-reading pokemon, Alakazam…

T-Shirts I would buy, were I so inclined…

Nerds Unite!Monday is a really a mixed bag for me. On one hand, I have to go to school on Monday, after having a whole weekend to goof off do homework. On the other hand, Monday is the day that Threadless.com releases new T-Shirts! Yep. This week, there’s only one T-Shirt I would buy, were I so inclined. It’s the Nerds Unite Shirt! Being a nerd, I feel a special connection to the idea of nerds forming together to make a giant nerd-zord type thing to attack preppie jocks. Alas, I don’t think this shirt is awesome enough to warrant buying it. You, on the other hand, might. Check it out!

Mensa Intelligence Test

I dunno how official this is, but the Mensa Intelligence Test has a list of cryptic codes that you have to make out. For example, 24 H in a D = 24 hours in a day. They get harder than that. I got 10/33 14/33 so far. I say so far because my brain is sleepy and I’ll probably come back to it later. Try it out if you want to feel dumb.

Goetze’s!?

So the CS Department had some grab bags of stuff for us undergrads. It had a bunch of snacks and candy. One particular piece of candy caught my eye: a Goetze’s Caramel Cream Candy:

Goetze's Candy

Initially, I made the mistake of associating this candy with goatse, an infamous gross out picture that I haven’t seen. I’ve seen enough “accidental goatse” to get the idea of what it is though. Here’s an explanation of goatse (work safe of course).

Now I’m not sure if I even wanna eat it…

New Blog: Take 5

Ok. So maybe I just like moving my blog more than I like writing in it. Here’s the deal: I just bought a new domain name called hung-truong.com. I decided to randomly select a length 4 string, and a length 6 string, and behold, it happened to be my name! Anyway, look to http://www.hung-truong.com/blog/ for all your Hung Truong blog needs.

Since the blog is now on my domain, I can pretty much control every aspect of it, rather than have livejournal/ujournal/xanga/myspace control it with their evil ads. This actually means instead of seeing their evil ads, you can see my evil ads!

Oh, and the actual layout should be prettier and stuff too.

I’ve imported all of the posts I’ve made ever since I started this thing called “blogging.” The earlier you get, the less organized the posts are. Most of the first ones don’t even have titles. Still, they’re nice to look back on, to see how far I’ve gone (not far).

I think this’ll be the last blog move I’ll make, because seriously, I’m tired of all this exporting and importing. If I wanted to do that for a living, I’d start up a company called “Vandelay Industries”…
