WHO DAT!!!!!!!!

Sorry it took a month for me to finally find the time to post again, but I felt that under such circumstances as these, I had to find the time. Here I am, just waking up after an extremely eventful night spent on the streets of Bourbon, New Orleans. Some friends and I arrived at Tulane campus late Saturday night to kick off this incredible journey. After some quick Superbowl "pregamage," we then departed Sunday around 3PM to make our way to Bourbon St. (which was a complete madhouse by the time we reached it). Despite the hushed whispers from naysayers that the Colts might win due to their untouchable defense, the Saints came through. And they just didn't win, they undeniably smashed the Colts. I think the Saints' victory, while owing itself to the skill of the Saints offense, along with Sean Payton's coaching ability, mainly owes itself to the spirit of the Saints fans throughout the South. The chaos ensuing immediately after the Saints' victory was a sight which could not be explained with words; yet it was good chaos - people hugging each other, everyone dancing, some even crying. It was something that brought the city of New Orleans together; a phenomenon that was not only earned, but highly needed. Just goes to show the power of spirit. While "statistically" the Colts had the upper hand, the Saints were hungry for victory. And they earned it - WHO DAT

Google -> China : !Adios!

Como Estan! Hope everyone enjoyed their winter break - I know I did. I might have even enjoyed it a little too much, for this morning I was still recovering from a rough night in my 9 A.M. class. Anyways sorry for the lack of posts, with this new semester I will strive to make up for my laziness by posting great, and NEW, exciting material! wooo. So here is my latest post, (accompanied by some sweet, custom artwork done by myself):


$589.85. An increase by 2.76; that is the current price on Google's stock (NYSE: GOOG). Yet such a quote could possibly drop due to the latest move by Google co-founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, to completely withdraw all Google operations from China . A recent Yahoo article speculates that the maneuver might stem from Google's manifesto, stating:

"Don't be evil.... We believe strongly that in the long term, we will be better served -- as shareholders and in all other ways -- by a company that does good things for the world."

As indicated by this moralistic (even fundamentalistic) rhetoric, there are two keywords in the above statement that worry me -- good and evil. Add the above to a mixture of China's stance on both human and free speech rights, and you have quite the lethal combination. Props to Brin and Page for being virtuous, but such a maneuver to pull Google completely out of China because of moralistic principles could cost the company mucho dinero. Yet could it be possible for the move to make Google some serious bucks as well? Only time will tell...
