Get into Baltimore more often.
Make an effort to speak to the Freshman in my hall more often.

Take on any more unpaid work.

FiveThirtyEight: Politics Done Right: The Odds of Airborne Terror (via mikehudack)
Once again, Nate Silver is the voice of rationality. Except, of course, that terrorism is an act of man, and lightning an act of God; in theory, we can do something about the former.

@Christielouwho Helps Me Find Shoes
Max: What shoes should I buy?
Christie: Okay, what are your options?
Max: I have a pair of dress shoes and a pair of chucks, and when my chucks disintegrate, I get a new color. That happens like every 8 months.
Christie: Price range?
Max: Like $5-$10 per pair, or $20 if they have lights in them or something.
Christie: Velcro?
Max: Oh my god if that was socially acceptable I would have velcro on everything. I'd basically be like Magneto when he's in the crazy no-metal prison in X-Men 2.

A blog of cool, and frankly not very easy, math problems.
Hey Josh, this website makes me want to kill myself.
I complained in my review of Avatar that Cameron refused to color the film with any moral complexity. If the humans are trying to get Unobtanium because, lets say, its needed to power desalination plants on earth to keep 20 billion people from dying of thirst, they suddenly do a 180 from greedy corporate/military-industrial-complex analogs to desperate heroes. Jake’s betrayal goes from...

Awesome Christmas Haul
he-who-must-not-be-named:
As many of you know, I am a pretty spoiled. I haven’t even opened up my main x-mas gifts yet and I have received at 150 dollar Amazon Gift Card, a new polo sweater, a 100 dollar J Crew Gift card and 5 pounds of gummy bears.
I’d say Santa came through!
Can’t wait to see what else is under the tree.
LISTEN TO ME. Be very careful with those gummy bears. If you eat more...
