About a week or so ago I figured out how to make custom screensavers. Actually I wanted a The Office one but there were only desktop wallpapers available on the website, so I decided to learn how to put them together into my own screensaver. Once I had done so I realized that it would be pretty fun to design a screensaver for Only At IA, and I decided to give it a shot. The animation took a long time - it was all done in Flash, which is awesome but can be painfully slow - but it was really fun to do and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Here's what it looks like:
It has 45 different quotes, IAtionary entries, OAIA stories and logos that it displays randomly. It nearly always starts with my all-time favorite quote, then continues however it pleases.
If you like it, click here to download and install. Installation is pretty straightforward: just download and run the *.exe file and follow the on-screen instructions. The screensaver will automatically adapt to fill your screen size. Please let me know what you think- I'd love to hear from you!

Although we love our school, we can't help but poke fun at it just a bit. With so many nerds (c'mon, admit it) in the same place, certain things are bound to happen. Too much of the result, what I lovingly call "nerd humor," has gone undocumented, until now! Only At IA is here to record the humor that can be found in the IA experience, and to lighten the mood for those of us who see it as only the source of our huge workload.
Only at IA are the girls jealous when the guys can put their graphing calculators in their pockets and make it look normal. -Kate K.
Only at IA could a student be less excited about getting a 36 on he ACT than he is about his score being a perfect square.
Only at IA could a student be happy about an in-school suspension, saying that it will be the most productive day of the week, giving him time to study for exams.
Only at IA do students debate whether another student's FB statues constitute a legitimate depiction of the Hero's Journey. -Bridget S.
Today, Ms. Sturt, the bio teacher, was talking about genetic disorders in sperm. Unclear about what was being explained, Farzan asked, "So when you have a trisomy or a monosomy you are like a retarded sperm?" Ms. Sturt replied back saying, "I think for PC reasons we should just call them imperfect sperm." Farzan responded, "Well then are there preterit sperms too?" OAIA -Ben C.
ancient contact information
If there's anything you want to tell me - good or bad - about Only At IA that you don't want to leave in comments, (which should still be the first option!) you can email me at josh@OnlyAtIA.com. Make the subject something informative- that is, something that would make me recognize the message for what it is- or if you clicked the link you can just leave it alone.
