When campus is empty, and school’s out, I feel like I visit the place less and less. I’ve no reason to be other there, so I just stick to my side of town. And that’s sad, really. There are quite a number of places on campus that are delightful, and it’s a loss to forget […]

Family Video: Cheap is Good
I did something strange yesterday: I rented a game. Think about it. When was the last time you drove down to the local video store? Maybe it’s just me, but it’s been absolute ages since I stepped into Hollywood Video. As one of those nerdy kids, Blockbuster trips became a comfortable routine, a weekly opportunity […]
Family–I guess I’ll keep mine
Hi everyone! I know that I missed you all last Monday, but I had a good excuse: I’d just graduated…and let’s just say it took more than Sunday for me to recover from my graduation party. Now it’s been a week, so here’s an update. I’m still terrified about my future, but that fear […]
Experience the Adventure
There’s murder, conspiracy, riddles, time limits, antimatter, and big bangs. There’s also Tom Hanks and Ayelet Zurer. What more could you ask from a movie? Nothing, you say? Well, Angels and Demons is the movie for you. It’s delightful entertainment full of intense action, drama, and plot twists you won’t call (unless you’ve read the […]
First Things First

Semi-Review: Plants Vs. Zombies (PC, Mac)
Ever heard of Bejeweled? It’s not much of a stretch to call it one of the most popular games of all (internet) time, if the 25 million copies sold since 2001 are any indication. Think about that for a moment. Twenty-five million. It’s a staggering number, one that attests to the growing popularity of ‘casual’ […]
A Classic That’ll Eat Your Brain
It’s summer. School is out (unless you’re the unlucky sap taking summer school), finals are over, and it’s time to sit back and chill. But, just because you’re not in school, you still want to look smart and fancy. So, you’re thinking about reading a good ol’ classic. Like Frankenstein or, maybe, A Tale of […]
Getting prepared for the MCAT
First things first, before you can do anything Medical School, you must take the Medical College Admission Test (aka the MCAT). Now this is no ordinary test, this is the mother of all tests. Months of preparation are necessary to gain the confidence and diligence it takes to make an awesome score.
Google Wants to Knows Everything About You
And you know what? I don’t mind at all. With sites like Facebook and MySpace shining the light on our darkest secrets for the whole world wide web to see, it’s nice to have an opportunity to launch a counter-attack in the war for information control. Enter Google Profiles, an intriguing new feature tied directly […]

Like other Unwind contributors, this is my last week as a student at OU. I also have my last final on Friday, and plan on wearing my cap and gown to the test because it is right before the University-wide Commencement Ceremony. I’ll let you know how it all pans out next week and show […]
