Imagine a world powered by vegetable oil! Badass

Considering vegetable oils (corn oil, soybean oil, etc.) are predominantly extracted using hexane, a petroleum solvent, the world would be much better if vegetable oils were used for fuel and not for food. Sadly, most people think vegetable oil is “healthy,” the opposite couldn’t be more true. So sad.

Edit: Stick to cold pressed olive oil or sesame oil, which are simply pressed to extract the oil. Chances are, if you need a petroleum solvent to extract the oil from something, it wasn’t put on this earth for our consumption.

Wow, this girl has a million and one internships/jobs/responsibilities in student organizations. Congrats, losa.

Today as I was leaving the house to get groceries for dinner, I realized that I hadn’t left the house since Saturday. That’s FIVE days in a row. Can’t say anything to make that right. Life, I’m sorry I’ve neglected you.

You’ll be responsible for pitching stories, researching/writing regular content and growing site traffic while engaging a college audience.

Qualifications:
* Experience at publications or established sites with similar content

Video editing ability, Digg/SU/Reddit know-how, an established blogger network and basic AP style/SEO knowledge are pluses!

Contact: teresa(at)collegiettes.com with resume, links, clips or whatever you want us to see.

@Seojie, check it out, I think you’d be good :)

This is truly a sad day for me. I don’t remember the exact cities I belonged to, but I’m pretty sure one of my sites was in ‘Silicon Valley’. I vividly remember a conversation I had with a friend in 6th or 7th grade in the library where we discussed our geocities communities and why we chose them (I’m pretty sure we were aiming for succinctness).

I still have the fat HTML books my dad bought me in 6th grade at my request, I used the knowledge to build The Legend of Zelda fan sites, complete with my own custom “banners” (created in PrintShop, of course), frames, metatags to help myself get indexed, cheesy gifs, guestbook, visitor counters, and overall bad ass design. Kids nowadays have it so easy with Tumblr, Wordpress, Blogger, Facebook, etc… it’s just too easy to put yourself on the internet.

So, from the bottom of my heart, RIP Geocities. The late nineties were a happier time. It is now my mission to find the floppy disks containing the aforementioned HTML goodness and publish them for memory’s sake.

Gotye - The Only Thing I Know

This song goes great with the slight gloominess outside, such a haunting yet soothing song. The live performance just drives it home, this guy is legit.

Kid Cudi - CuDi Zone

Cudi’s new album, Man On The Moon: The End of Day, is filled with some of the most infectious/feel good lyrics and hooks I’ve heard in a while. A lot of the songs have a laid back 90’s feel (Simple As…, Soundtrack 2 My Life), a nice change from the formulaic rap albums that are so common today. I suggest everyone drop into the CuDi ZoNe and give the album a listen!

Guy pulls all the way into the crosswalk…

Me: Dickhead. Seojie: Literally.

She insisted I post this on Tumblr and quote her. Oh Seojie.
