What's Hot

And you thought University had bad traffic…

by Tom Kozlowski

In Hebei province northwest of Beijing, road construction has caused a traffic jam of biblical proportions with the backup stretching over 100km over the course of 9 days. At this point, things seem to be clearing up, but it’s taken almost two weeks. You might be asking yourself how this kind of thing happens, well, [...]

Google renounces “Don’t be evil”

by Tom Kozlowski

Not quite, but they are definitely heading in that direction. Earlier today Google and Verizon made a joint blog post outlining their proposal for a new system of internet traffic regulation that would, in their words, “protect the future openness of the Internet.” However, if you read past the third paragraph of the post, you [...]

If a hockey player says something stupid at the Olympics, does anyone care?

by Tom Kozlowski

I’m not going to lie, I stopped following hockey about 7 years ago (wow, I feel old), but a few names still sound familiar, like Jaromir Jagr, who I remembered for being a stand out on some underachieving Penguins teams, and for being Mario Lemieux’s second fiddle for the better part of his career. If [...]

Campus-wide Power Outage

by Tom Kozlowski

As the 3 text messages, 6 emails and 2 voicemails from AlertSU already told you, there is a campus-wide power outage as of 8:45 Tuesday morning. I found out when I was awoken, not by my alarm clock as usual, but a crack of thunder. For what it’s worth, the gym is closed. Hopefully I [...]

What’s the deal with Siberia?

by Tom Kozlowski

With apologies to Jerry Seinfeld, I wanted to point out an interesting series at Slate about Russian/Chinese relations in Siberia. I don’t know about y’all, but I’ve always wondered how Siberians identify themselves, being so far removed from European Russia, and now I (we) have an answer, Russian, but not happy about it.

Sun Bowl Live-blog

by Tom Kozlowski

12/31 17:00 – So my plan to live-blog the game from the stands was derailed by the horrid coverage from AT&T. Speaking of horrid coverage, the secondary was again the downfall of the Stanford Cardinal today. We kept them under 100 yards rushing, but gave up more than 400 passing. It was heartwrenching. Tavita Pritchard [...]

Music? On the Internet?

by Tom Kozlowski

I don’t know how the rest of you have been spending your breaks, but I’ve been a tad bored. I’ve had a lot of time to listen to music this break, and as such, I’ve discovered some winners. Unfortunately, I’m sure to the chagrin of my former roommates, none of these discoveries were British Indie bands.

Stanford Football and Beautiful El Paso

by Tom Kozlowski

In case you haven’t heard, Stanford football is back, and I couldn’t be more excited. I grew up in Menlo Park and have been following Stanford football as long as I can remember. From the beginning (of my memory at least), we were respectable, even good at times (Stanford played in the Rose Bowl in [...]
