    Campus Sidewalk Chalkings

    I was walking around Madison, WI last week and I saw some musings. One said, "God is dead." The other said, "God is alive." This lead me to think of Schrödinger's Cat. Then I kept reading and saw, "God is a sock." Who knew?

    Font Finding Mission

    This site worked wonders. It looks like it's ITC Lubalin Graph Demi. Reps for finding the font. I think the comma in "provides networking, resources, and incentives for individuals and teams to go from idea to launch" is needed because of the second "and". The UNC comma handout says...

    Longboard help

    I am a fan of getting a cheap longboard and putting some better bearings in it. It's cheap so you won't care if it gets stolen or beat up. Plus you can find out if you like using it to get to class without spending too much cash. If you do like it you can get a better board and have one to...

    What's the cost of living in Des Moines, IA?

    I currently live in Des Moines. Good two bedroom apartments and condos can be found for $1000 or less a month. $72,000 in Des Moines will go a long way. As a single guy with a roommate, I lived from August to January on $11,000.

    Math Puzzle

    Nobody cares but I thought I'd put it up anyway. We need to solve for the variables in the equation: 2 (10000W +1000R + (100)O +10N +G) = 10000R +1000I + 100G +10H + T with the conditions that W<5, each letter is a digit 0-9 and 2 letters can not be the same number. As a side note, O makes...

    Math Puzzle

    Like you wrote, W has to be less than 5. Then I just busted out the pencil and paper and worked through it. There might be other solutions but I haven't been able to find them if they exist. I'm trying to work out a good solution but it's taking some time.

    Greyhound a dangerous way to travel these days?

    I rode the Greyhound a number of times during college. I never had any problems other than the one lady that talked to me for a whole six hours. I didn't know this but apparently Pepsi owns Coke. Who knew? The last time I rode the Greyhound was in early August. During my extended transfer...

    Is disneyland boring (anaheim)?

    I was there on goth day in 2006. As I was walking into the restroom, I saw a goth guy and goth girl hurriedly make an exit from one of the stalls. Disney really does provide a clean environment for (creating) families.
