Whenever I'm at the YMCA on Tuesday or Thursday night I watch the people playing badminton between sets of lifting. Everyone is really good so I've been hesitant to just barge in and play. Last night someone lent me a racket and I finally got to play! Badminton was great, but I got a huge blister on my big toe, which will probably still keep me out of commission for Thursday. Does this mean my shoes are worn out? I guess I'll need to go shopping for shoes and my own racket. 10:29:37 AM     comment []

As another step on my journey of Joel disciplehood, I bought the book "The Pragmatic Programmer" from the suggested readings list. I feel more enlightened already! 9:36:19 AM     comment []

UW Daily Bulletin on tuition increases: "With increases for most undergraduates limited to 2 per cent, the hike for the rest -- those in engineering, optometry and computer science -- will be 15 per cent, the highest annual increase allowed under rules set by the board itself two years ago. Chakma told the board that if it weren't for the government's 2 per cent limit, the 15 per cent increases wouldn't be necessary; he estimated that the campus-wide increase could be between 5 and 7 per cent." In other words, because tuition increases in some programs is capped, students in the unregulated programs end up paying more to compensate! 9:15:44 AM     comment []
