Texas university giving all freshman iPhones and iTouches

Wtf. This is awesome. Sort of.

Abilene Christian University in Texas, USA, is giving all of its new freshman a free iPhone and a free iTouch by Mac.

This is cool that the students are receiving them for free, but a little unfair if they are expected to use them. A phone plan, etc., would cost a lot! It’s not fair to expect those kids to use the iPhone or other devices that depend on extra charges, fees, and services in order to work or be of any use.

I think this university really wants more students, or maybe just public attention (which could lead to more students).

Soon people may be able to have zoom vision, night vision, and more, with these incredible new contact lenses that are currently being developed.

I’d go for some!

Nazi treasure!

This is so cool! I hope they actually find the gold and/or silver.

This is so National Treasure-like! And those movies rocked.

Man, Nazis were like uncool pirates. Seriously.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Awesome. I was diagnosed with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease today. How fun is THAT?!

Other than that, the week is going fairly OK, with hopes of it getting better towards the end, which it should.

I might get to hang out with my friend this weekend, which is pretty cool.

Fatal shootings at Northern Illinois University

This is absolutely sickening. I hope either that the shooter is burning in HELL or finally getting the peace that his mind apparently needed.
