By Paul Grawe community columnistFourth, the current inhabitant of the White House knows what I’m talking about. In part because he is a Texan. In part because of his Hispanic in-laws. In part because he speaks fluent Spanish. In part because of the election results.
LMAO
I still recall that TV campaign ad: “es..este.. suouy llioll bush, y a..apróbe es..este mensaje”
Definition of Globalization rephrased: whites “act”, using artifacts “produced” by nonwhites. Masters “do”, slaves “provide”.
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, 2004
So 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.

Subject: Students of Color at Hamline protest unrepresentative curriculum and oppressive campus atmosphere
Forty students of color and allies at Hamline protested last thursday (March 3rd) at their Student Congress on the differential treatment given to the study of jewish and indian immigration in the sociology class “Racial and Cultural Minorities”, which fullfill’s Hamline’s cultural breadth requirement, and the ensuing charges that multiculturalism in academia is really “reverse discrimination”, and broke quorum by having Student Congress reps quit the meeting.

first, I see this article on the pervasive effects of Walmart in the city http://www.urbancartography.com/2005/02/die_walmart_die.html and, a commentor had told the writer to not be so blatant about his own “biases”, and mocked at the fact that his google adsense (content-specific text advertising) was showing ADS of Walmart. Indeed, next to the article criticizing Walmart, google picked up the keyword “Walmart”, and you can see a discount ticket offer for Walmart, getting jobs at Walmart, Walmart Store finder, Clearance, and so forth.
then, I use gmail to send an email about our Freedom Movements class, and as I revise the email, this is the gmail ads that shows to the right:
