So what is the one thing you really don't want to see when you get out of a shower at 6:35am and go to reach for your towel?
This:
This poses a greater question - what form of survival advantage does the spider attain by forming their base of operations on my towel hook in my bathroom. Are there that many bugs to make this a lush tropical paradise of delicacies and climate for spiders? First of all, eew I hope not, and second I think I would notice if that were the case, which it is not. Last I checked I hadn't established a Ritz Carlton, Matt's Toilet location with special frequent stay programs for spiders. So again I must ask, why lil spider? Why?
Maybe Mr 8 Legs was doing me a favor - by scaring me half to death at this time of day my heart got jump started. Or maybe the lil' spider buddy was sent for a higher purpose to ensure that my adrenaline gland was doing it's job. Thanks nature for that little check up along the lines of pulling out the dipstick and seeing how the oil is. I can fully report that the oil level is topped off and quite clean, thank you very much.
Whatever his purpose is, he'd better be gone when I get home or else someone is getting put outside in the snow. And don't even get me started on the flippin' snow...
Katy finally posted her photos from Sundance on Facebook, so I thought I would share some here.
Oh yay! A non-indecent photo of me with Andrew and Katy. Y'all need to come back ... but wait a few weeks since its still snowing.
I've discovered a wonderous new adventure on YouTube: videos of people microwaving stuff. It's childhood with all the fun of watching things get microwaved without all that pesky property damage. Some of my favorites:

During the course of a day we routinely get around 11,000 spam emails. Luckily most of them come from blacklisted Russian servers and I never see them. There are around 90 per hour that make it through. These are stopped in a quarantine for me to judge (release or delete). Because of this, I often get to see some real winners. Aside from all the porn and dong enlargement emails (is that such a problem? really?), there are some totally random and usually awesome ones. Today's amazing spam message subject?
Well thank you Mr. Spammer from somewhere in Norway! I so totally want to buy an anonymous product on the internet, put it in me (which way I don't want to know), and let it do some "cleaning" on me. Wow. I seriously have to question the sanity of anyone who would buy that.Try colon cleansing at home today!!
Just a funny short fiction about what a Wikipedia forum would look like with time travel. Sort of funny if you're a nerdling like me. It seems every person tries to assassinate Hitler on their first trip.

Good news! I just left a French battlefield in October 1916, where I shot dead a young Bavarian Army messenger named Adolf Hitler! Not bad for my first time, no? Sic semper tyrannis!At 10:22:53, SilverFox316 wrote:
Back from 1916 France I come, having at the last possible second prevented Hitler's early demise at the hands of JudgeDoom and, incredibly, restrained myself from shooting JudgeDoom and sparing us all years of correcting his misguided antics. READ BULLETIN 1147, PEOPLE!

Remember back in the day when I used to read stuff. Like books. Well those days are dead. My two *favorite* (when a grade depends on me reading it, it's my favorite) books to read today are:
Other things I've learned this semester are:
- How Multinational Corporations use currency arbitrage to get tomorrow's money today, at almost no cost.
- It's ok for capitalism to exploit the low income demands of other nations, because we're all better off in the end.
- What the Stolpher Samuelson Theorem says about resource scarcity and it's pricing with global trade.
- Most of all, that life as a business student is super awesome #1. Totally.
What is your favorite quote and why?
Abraham Lincoln - "Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?"
Here's just a sampling of some of my favorite photos that I've taken. All my pictures are posted to my DeviantArt gallery at http://mateoutah.deviantart.com/gallery/.

Last night we went to Market Street Grill here in Salt Lake for Anam's birthday. They have an amazing selection of super fresh seafood that is prepared in the most extravagant way. We ordered crab pot stickers for the appetizer that was a great way to start the meal. I ordered an Alaskan salmon platter that was delicious and Anam got the crab ravioli's, which were equally tasty. I meant to grab my good camera but of course I left it on the counter in the hurry of heading up there, so all I managed to get were cell phone pictures. Not too bad, but I wish I had my other one.
My dinner came with what can only be called *drum-roll* Super Broccoli. The thing was bigger than everything else on my plate. Here is my crappy cell phone picture of it. The thing behind it is my salmon, there's a lemon and 2 potatoes sharing the plate too.
