Counting this low-effort post, Ice Climber has featured 84 posts and has enjoyed 527 hits. Those aren’t traditional milestone numbers but it’s a nice feeling that this page has survived a ton of schoolwork, a tumultuous and computer-scarce summer and blows to its ego from awareness of damn entertaining weblogs such as this one [...]

More-or-less Milestone
January 31, 2005New Link
January 30, 2005I’ve added a new link down in the links section. Although I haven’t yet scoured the entire site, WorkingForChange includes several newspapers columnists that I like. It’s really a voice of…let’s say “mainstream progressives.” Ellen Goodman, Bill Moyers, Molly Ivins, Byron Williams…generally intelligent writers who aren’t as run-of-the-mill as they ought to [...]
Class Notes
January 29, 2005Another late night with not enough work done to justify the hour…but I do have some ramblings:
If you’re white, in college and you want to be perceived as cool, start attending meetings of minority group organizations in your area. It might be awkward at first, what with people wondering if your grandparents were of some [...]
Power of Blogger
January 25, 2005Good article on people blogging their emotions here.
Good ol’ SFGate!
WhatUpThen is certainly one of those emotionally guarded individuals. It’s very rare that you see me bare my soul on the Ice Climber and, even then, we’re discussing a muted version of whatever the feeling is. I really appreciate those people, though. There [...]
Clever Words from a Clever Man
January 24, 2005I’m only 24, so I didn’t see all that much Johnny Carson back in the day. Maybe my parents didn’t even let me stay up that late back then. But I’ve seen some episodes and some monologues and I have a bit of respect for him. Enough to want to read all of the tributes [...]
WhatUpThen Singing “St. Patrick’s Day”
January 22, 2005Quite a voice on that young man
Background music is extremely faint. Coupla missed notes and I screwed up the transition to falsetto. Singing quietly because of roommates. I’ve got to do this in the daytime.
Go. Sit. Watch.
January 22, 2005Okay okay, I still haven’t seen White Noise but, trust me, Michael Keaton is my favorite actor. Plus, I may have missed my opportunity because it doesn’t seem to be playing in University District theatres anymore. It’ll be tops on the list when it comes out on video…no, really, it will be.
WhatUpThen is dishing out [...]
Do You Have The Time…
January 15, 2005To listen to me whine?
As I sit at my desk this late hour drinking Cerveza Pacifico and listening to New Jack Swing…
I’m still thinking about her. It is difficult when one has lost the object of their affection. Life is unfair, I know. There are situations where I know I must deal [...]
Don’t Be Ridiculous
January 13, 2005In the Seattle P-I today it says Kraft Foods will scale back advertising on some of its high-sugar and high-fat foods for kids like Capri Sun and Oreos in response to concerns about U.S. childhood obesity. The funny part, though: “Kraft won’t cease all advertising of fatty, sugary products such as Lunchables and Pebbles cereal, [...]
WhatUpThen Singing “One In A Million You”
January 12, 2005Hip then, Hip now
I screwed up the lyrics in the first verse because I don’t really know them. Also, I continue to sing in the lower octave when Larry Graham goes up just because it’s almost 1am and I don’t want to wake my roommate. I should do this more often.
