He lost his leg because he sacrificed it to save a kid from getting run down by a truck on the cruel, cruel streets of New York City. Was homeless for a while, and then someone gave him a bike. Now he is gainfully employed, and probably the chillest [...]
But inspired by Matt’s far less self-conscious study abroad musings, here are some of my own.
Indian sweets are ubiquitous here (except in McLeod Ganj, since Tibetans don’t really have a taste for them) and are basically deep-fried cheese balls drenched in honey. You’d never know that from the taste though; ras gulai tastes kind [...]
Two of them! One by is by frosh Kyle Victor and is here, and the other is by sophomore Todd Bustard and is here. Both have made pretty accurate predictions thus far, especially about the awesome snow storm we got yesterday, but more importantly have lots and lots of weather-model pr0n, like the [...]
Since my class is entering its junior year at Williams, many (many!) of us are studying abroad. Thankfully, many of them are blogging about it: (short-and-suite member) Noe is enrolled at a university in Spain for the entire year, Katie is doing an SIT program in Fiji, and freshly minted Williams alum Alex Hogan [...]
Over at a Sun Microsystems blog there’s news that Sun will be joining the effort to make an OS X-native port of OpenOffice.org, the kick-ass open-source office suite (link).
I’m excited to let you all know that as of now Sun engineering will add its support to the ongoing Mac/Aqua porting effort.
The MacOSX porting history is [...]
Fellow WordPress.com blogger Sisyphus provides a compelling argument as to why thinking that the earth revolves around the sun is an atheist doctrine and anyone who subscribes to it is a moral-less atheist who hates America. Seriously.
It seems clear that it may occasionally be convenient to assume that the calculations of Copernicus and Kepler [...]
It’s a paper night! That means that I’ve been doing lots of interesting and vaguely productive things that are NOT writing my paper. Like baking six loaves of bread with help from Ruth, or (finally) cleaning my room and desk, or writing a little java program to parse the xml file generated by [...]
I’ve been doing some catching up with my science-y RSS feeds, and one of the articles I’ve been wanting to read for a while is from Babel’s Dawn concerning the Whorfian hypothesis as it relates to the origin or language. It deals specifically with a study done with toddlers about some linguistic and conceptual [...]
I’m going to get to be second-author on the paper about the experiment we finished in my lab last semester, and that I spent most of the summer researching! And there’ll be model fits in it! ee!!
Tomorrow will officially be the first skiing day of the season for me, which is also very exciting.
I found [...]
I spent the better part of this evening reading bits and pieces of Second Nature, the book about neuroscience and epistemology I mentioned earlier (and found out about here) and Gödel, Escher, Bach and drinking the last of my delicious delicious Darjeeling tea. The rest of the day was spent mostly in the LEGO [...]
