Mike’s Guides: WTF R U AIMing w/a severe acronym prob? Friday, Nov 17 2006 

If you’re anything like me, you spend countless hours on AOL Instant Messenger. I mean really, why would anybody want to have any kind of face to face interaction with anybody anymore when you can just type to people online instead1? Again, the problem is that with so many other things going on, you might be doing all of your instant messaging wrong. While it may seem impossible to mess something like this up, trust me, you can. Another “Guide to Life” means more learning for you, my loyal reader, as I’m going to teach you the do’s and don’ts of instant messaging.

Site News Wednesday, Nov 15 2006 

So, I changed stuff around a bit.  The banner is going to get a total change from what it is now, but for a few more days it will have this new one.  In around a month or so, the whole site should get an overhaul.  Until then, the site will up and running, but don’t be too alarmed one day when the banner is different.

Much love,

Mike

RanDUMB: Look a Like? Friday, Nov 10 2006 

So, it is not usually my style to post these kinds of things, but I thought this was funny. If you go to www.myheritage.com and put in a picture of yourself, it tells you what celebrities you most look like (or at least tries too.)

Here were my actual results…

Mike’s Guides: Is your facebook addiction properly fed? Thursday, Nov 9 2006 

It is a rush every single time. It can make you feel the highest you’ve ever felt and then give you a complete and total collapse. No, I’m not talking about my articles, or heroin1, but the facebook phenomenon. Don’t lie to me, or yourself…you know you are addicted, but it’s OK, because you are not alone. Problem is though, while you might be spending hours upon hours on the site, you could possibly be doing it all wrong. This is what this week’s “Guide to Life” is here for. I’m going to help you successfully procrastinate or whatever else you use facebook for.

In the News: Not Down with Downs Wednesday, Nov 8 2006 

A little league softball coach was convicted for paying one of his players throw a ball at an autistic and mildly retarded kid.

He wanted the 8-year-old autistic kid to get hurt and not be able to play in his baseball games.

My speculation is that the coach, who’s name is Mark Downs, did this in retaliation for all the Downs Syndrome Jokes he had to hear growing up.

In the News: Too Soon About Saddam? Monday, Nov 6 2006 

Saddam Hussein is appealing his death penalty sentence to be hung.

Today, Tommy Lee responded by saying, “Trust me, it’s really not that bad bro.”

Mike’s Guides: Ride high by understanding the ‘Fight Song’ Friday, Nov 3 2006 

If there is one single thing that every Cal Poly student knows, it would obviously be the “Cal Poly Fight Song.” OK, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration. Let me start over. If there is one single thing that barely any Cal Poly student knows1, it would be the Cal Poly “Fight Song.”

There is a good reason though that so few of us would know the words to our song. Basically, the words are ridiculous. While many know the line “Ride high you Mustangs” to start the song, the rest just sort of trails off2. This, of course, is where I come in for this week’s column. While I have no idea what the song means, I’ll make some highly educated guesses and you’ll just have to either go with what I write or continue to be baffled on your own.
