Sorry, but you’re not my type: Pity the poor South Korean man who is blood type B, pegged by pop culture as a selfish, mercurial cad.

April 19, 2005 Tuesday. Toronto EditionSEOUL – Lee Sung-san is a 24-year-old South Korean student looking for love and hoping the women he is wooing don’t ask for his blood type.
Genetics and pop culture have teamed up to make Mr. Lee’s love life miserable. He is blood type B, which nudges him near to the nadir of the dating scene in South Korea.

Tackling Africa’s Last Taboo
By Kawuma Daniel Busuulwa
African Voices, Volume 5, Issue 4. March 2005.Africa has always been labeled for its conservatism regards to sexual or gender issues. In most African ethnic cultures, talking openly about issues regarding sex was taboo. Some have gone further to correlate these tendencies with the escalating HIV/AIDS infection rates especially in sub-Saharan Africa. This as many observers argue has resulted into the failure for the more knowledgeable adults to pass on the crucial information in a precise and direct manner to the adolescent Africans. The failure to hit the hammer on the head as the pundits argue is costing Africa many lives in an era where we always need to adjust to such a dynamic world with new physical, economic and social demands.

What is your marital status?
If you were not married at anytime during the year 2004, mark “Single”.

SENIORS – LAST DATE TO ORDER CAP AND GOWN…
If you missed the vendor on campus and still want to order your cap and gown, stop by the CDC, Kagin Commons, 1st floor by Friday, March 18, 2005. All orders must be received before Spring Break. (Career Development Center)I don’t have enough money to waste into this stupid one-time costume. I just received $360 for February employment, of which $200 will be spent paying loans (mostly from the OPT application costs), and $100 on cell phone bills, after which I should have about $100 for the rest of the month, and this includes spring break = (meaning no meal plan)
However, if I don’t buy the gown and cap, AND mom and grandma end up coming to graduation (apparently they are under the impression that I want them to come, despite my efforts to show the contrary?), (it is not certain yet whether or not they are coming) they will obviously think it is a big big scandal that I graduate without following proper tradition (i.e. t-shirt and jeans) and waste EVEN MORE money into rushing to some store and getting something resembling gowns and cap, to make up for it. Net result is that we end up spending even more money because I tried to save $20.
But I can’t survive until April 15th on a $80 budget.
Fuck, fuck, fuck.

So I was sitting there struggling with the overcomplixified MS access relational tables structure trying to figure out how to establish a data report based on four interrelated (two one-to-many and one one-to-one relations.. I think there is something going on when you drag a premade report into the report design field, though), when Octavio says “I’m going to this debate at Mac, where is the chapel?” And I 1) didn’t know Octavio was talking there (which is, so ironic! Larry Weiss debated Raymond Robertson when he had the exact same position, in 2002!) and 2) didn’t know it was happening today – I assumed it was the weekend even though had no intentions of going. So remembering our little name thing with MPIRG earlier, I look up the new promotional email which now says “MPIRG, Mac Fair Trade, MPJC, and others.” and notice the phrase “Dinner too!”. I’m like, “I’m going!” and he will give me a ride if I write a story on the forum for the RCTA. Sure, fine. First, some memos.

It’s Not Just Usability
by Joel Spolsky
Monday, September 06, 2004So a good social interface designer might say, let’s not display an error message. Let’s just pretend that the post about Viagra was accepted. Show it to the original poster, so he feels smug and moves on to the next inappropriate discussion group. But don’t show it to anyone else.
………..
Social interface design is still a field in its infancy. I’m not aware of any books on the subject; there are only a few people working in the research side of the field, and there’s no organized science of social interface design. ………Over the next decade, I expect that software companies will hire people trained as anthropologists and ethnographers to work on social interface design. Instead of building usability labs, they’ll go out into the field and write ethnographies.
