Caught between state funding cuts and rowdy student protests, a key committee of the University of California’s Board of Regents on Wednesday reluctantly approved a two-step student fee increase that would raise undergraduate education costs more than $2,500, or 32%, by next fall. If the action is endorsed as expected by the full board today, the annual cost of a UC education, not including campus-based fees, would rise to $10,302 — about triple the UC costs of a decade ago.

Eventually, like tangible media, Temporary.cc will fall apart entirely, becoming a blank white website. Its existence will be remembered only by those who saw or heard about it.

We’ve had our differences, Amanda Hess, but you had me at hello. You had me at hello.
A neverending neverchanging soliloquy.
Why I’ll Never Be A Writer
I can’t stand coffee, can’t stand constant isolation, can’t stand depression, simultaneously love fancy style and think it’s wholly unnecessary.
Why I’ll Never Be An Actor
I loathe trying to be people I’m not, my ideal method of conversation is a thirty-minute monologue followed by another thirty-minute monologue, and I feel that I somehow both love sex too much and don’t love sex enough.
Why I’ll Never Be A Director
Equipment. Fucking equipment. The goddamn walk-with-camera-and-tripod makes me feel like a quack in a cage, even when it’s just from my room to the hall outside. Also I can’t stand working with other people, especially people who pretend they matter. You don’t matter. I matter. This is my movie and you are a part of me God deemed too ugly to attach physically.
Why I’ll Never Be A Photographer
I’m not here to stand on the edge and watch you be beautiful, asshole.
Why I’ll Never Be A Game Designer
Partly it’s the people again. I can’t shake the feeling that if you devote your life to making video games I don’t want to ever associate myself with you or even nod at you on the street. But a bigger part is that video games are the future of the art world and the fact that video games today are so shitty means if I touch a pinky to that pool I’ll become famous and have to pretend like I give a shit about overgrown children with tape recorders.
Why I’ll Never Be A Blogger
I don’t like the sound of the word. Furthermore you can’t be a famous blogger without being snarky, insane, or full of yourself, and I’m neither. I can’t pretend I think other people should kill themselves, I don’t think Ayn Rand is the Glorious Messiah Of Our Future, and, while I love myself, my love is a love for me and not for quoting philosophers and namedropping bands. The bands I listen to you’ve never heard of, and I don’t mean “you” the masses, I mean “you” the smart enlightened feller reading this. Five hour piano compositions and the like. I’d tell you about it but I’d insist on writing more than a paragraph and you wouldn’t read it. The format this piece takes is deliberately modeled around your ineffectual attention span, you inconsiderate twat. Several times a day I consider deleting my blog entirely. Fuck that as a profession.
Why I’ll Never Be A Designer
Being a designer means being simultaneously full of shit and unpopular. I can handle one or the other to varying degrees, but the people who can stomach both are really just alien to me.
Why I’ll Never Be In A Band
Tenor singer. Flautist. No demand.
Why I’ll Never Be A Comedian
My ideal comedy is one where I tell a joke, ninety-nine people don’t get it, one person does and cries, loudly and irritatingly, in the back of the room. I don’t like bacon and I have nothing but contempt for audiences.
