I can’t believe all the people who are using templates for their blogs! Get creative, people! It’s not that hard. After I posted that last blog about Guan’s site, he posted on his blog that he’s just using a template. For shame! 🙂 Designing’s the best part, because your blog is about you. Are you a conformist? Do you like to look just like everybody else? Don’t you want your blog to make a statement? Maybe I should start making random templates, so people can come use designs and it’ll only be used once. If you happen to come through, you’ll get met by a random template generator. You can pick one of the random designs, and then once its yours, it never shows up on the generator again. Wouldn’t that be lovely? I’d have to have a kick butt server for that, but it’d be awesome. Maybe I’ll do that once I get space for InkBlot, inc. Or, if someone else wants to use the idea, go for it. Just give me a cut of the profits. 🙂
You know, colleges charge too much. If I were to go to the University of Cambridge, it’d cost me over $23,000 a year. That’s just sick. I think I’ll stick with Bournemouth, since they’re only around $13,000 a year for everything. That’s still horrendous, but not as bad as Cambridge. Egads, I hope all those people at MIT were right that pretty soon colleges will have to go tuition free. Although, I bet it’d only be Harvard and MIT. Why? Well, here’s the theory:
According to a certain guy at MIT who hosted a contest I went to, Harvard still claims to be a non-profit organization, despite having over $60 billion dollars in the bank. They could buy out entire third world countries, and they still charge ridiculous amounts just so you can say you went to Harvard for school. Pretty soon the IRS is going to get fed up, knowing they’re getting cheated out of a ton of money. In order to stay non-profit and keep all of their precious money, Harvard will have to stop charging tuition fees. Then, because MIT hates Harvard (and vice versa), and since they’re so competitive for students, MIT will have to go tuition-free as well. They could both certainly afford it, what with all of the money they’re getting in big chunks from really rich old guys and the government for research projects
Not that that would make it easier to get into MIT. In fact, it would get harder. Then you couldn’t as easily pay your way into MIT or Harvard, you’d actually have to compete with a whole new slew of really smart people; the ones who still can’t pay for Harvard or MIT, but could kick a rich geek’s butt with all those numbers of pi they’ve memorized. Yeah.
I think I’m going to quit ranting now and go eat some lunch.
