Chucksphere Anniversary IV: A New Hope

Chuck.P — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 21:51:26 +0000

Just kidding. There is no hope here. The demands of college have pretty much determined that the most content I’ll be able to produce for any of the Chucksphere projects is the occasional emo rant or an extremely belated May Day Mystery post (I’m still working on December’s). However, I spruced up the blog by putting it on the front page, then spruced it up again by changing the pallete to something not retarded. The content, though, is still up to its usual level “inspiration.” Let’s take a look at how the Projects faired this year:

Chuck’s World O’ Wargames: LOL. Why do I still have this?

Small Island Nation: Moved to on-site Wiki, which was spam-botted into oblivion. No movement made since August.

The Wildcat Code: Hard to keep up with, due to the demands of college. Still haven’t gotten the December ad finished.

One bright spot: I now have a forum where I can voice my foreign policy opinions. I wrote a peice for the Roosevelt Institutue which made it to the front page, and there are many more to come.

Fuck This Shit, vol II

I just* finished my third semester of college. I am not a happy man. Those two statements are far from unrelated.

*For certain vaules of “just.” I got out on the 21st.

Chuck Gets Writing Gig

I’ll be writing the occasional blog post at the blog of Michigan’s Center on International Relations, a part of the Roosevelt Institute. My first speed-written article is here: Humanitarian Aid as Soft Power.

Funny story about this article. I was asked to write it before the IR Center’s meeting tonight. So, at 5:55pm, I sat down and pounded it out; took me an hour. Got to the meeting room at 7:10. That’s when I realized that the IR Center meets at 6. So I fucked up doubly. Ah well…
