This e-mail is pretty typical for law school. I think what they’re saying is that there will be two-way traffic on the bottom floors of this particular staircase, but the top three floors will be entrance-only, with the exit stairs on the other side of the building. That’s complicated enough without … well, here, see for yourself:
To accommodate a necessary change with internal traffic patterns when the new Library entrance opens later this semester, a permanent partitioning wall is currently being erected at the third level in the north stair tower. (Under the new traffic pattern, the north stair tower will be used for internal access from the third floor to the library collection on floors 4 and 5.) As a consequence, the north stair tower is henceforth no longer available as a means of egress from the upper floors of the law building. NOTE: It is still possible to exit the building via the north stair tower from the second floor.

It’s at times like these, when I really need something completely good to grasp onto, that I turn to the only person left in America I can count on. Clownvis Presley.

Two frustrating things: translation and programming. Similarities: effective guess work, numerous correct answers and even more incorrect ones, text books that explain process and not practice, and foreign language barriers.

Remotely love your pets! It’s like having a dog, but without all the gross touching and smelling. It’s the greatest thing since remote hunting!

So, Jay, I was just having a conversation today about how feasible it actually is to snip off the internet somewhere in the middle of the ocean. Looks like its happening. I’d call that a major weak point in the entire setup, kind of like having the jugular vein in such a target zone. So who’s got the giant, underseas cable cutters? Million dollar question, I suppose.

This is totally bizarre: looks like someone’s cutting undersea cables and basically shutting down Internet and other telecom services in the Middle East. Iran literally has no Internet right now.

YouTube is Trickery, or, How I Momentarily Thought All Advertising Went to Shit.
So I’ve always watched the Super Bowl for the commercials, and though I’m not a marketing tweeter, I used to rank them with my brother in our living room over hot dogs. Well this year I skipped out on the whole thing, just wasn’t feeling it, but had to Google who won (don’t care) and what ads showed. Like an Idiot I thought it would be easiest to just use YouTube. If there’s one thing the internet should have taught me, it’s that you can’t trust anything on that site. (Dax Flame, anyone?) A search for “2008 Super Bowl commercial” spat out something for Carls Jr. and Folgers. Imagine me at 1:15am alone in my room going “what the fuck!?” and thinking I had just missed some freakish turning point in American advertising. It’s all the fault of this guy (props to him, I guess) and my gullible nature. It only lasted a minute, but that minute was weird as hell as I watched the fusion of modern tv ads and b0g.org play behind my eyes.

Tom recaps a 2am portion of the evening, as transcribed by me: Jay and his Twitter friend Giannii make an audio post in Camden, New Jersey. And Tom and I listen to it together in two separate states, over Skype.
…
Think about that.

I had to do a captcha to send an email to the Ashera cat people. The word was “threat”. Can’t make that up.
