St. Patrick’s Day is but five days away. It’s that elusive holiday that never mattered until you got to college. Now it might as well be Christmas.

Anyway, here’s what we’ve been reading today/this week:

• Clean up your digital indiscretions (Lifehacker)
• My Mid-College Crisis (YouAreSketch.com)
• Pictures of the Craziest Pissers
• Kristoffer Ragnstam Review (Both Sides of the Mouth)
• Rethinking Homework
• The Group Dilemma (Facebook Blog)

Not to blatantly rip off Lifehacker or anything, but this one is too good to pass up. They just made a post containing a video of how to open a bottle of beer using only a piece of paper. Cool

They also link to another article over at instructables, but check out Lifehacker’s article first. Maybe click on a few ads while you’re there.

The About page has been updated in an attempt to remove some of the blinding pretension. It’s gone from very pretentious to pretty pretentious.

You can never grow up fast enough.

Because I’m a loyal American, I spend money and lots of it. My current weapon of capitalist choice is my Bank of America Visa Check Card. The check card just withdraws the amount of the purchase directly from my checking account. Cool enough.

But a friend started using his fancy Visa Starbucks Duetto card in front of me. I’ve been generally jaded towards credit cards, until now. I forget the exact benefits, but he makes back a good portion of his Starbucks purchases and is constantly accumulating credit to be cashed in at a Starbucks. All of this is highly appealing to a caffeine addict.
