    So, my brother is studying in Bonn, Germany for a few semesters and I'm planning on a little trip to visit him. Recently I noticed that where he's living is just 45 KM north of the famous nurburgring (pretty sure I spelled that right). Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has gone for a few laps...

    Okay, so I'm about to graduate with my mechanical engineering degree, and I've been very stressed out lately due to the shitty job market. Even my internship, that specializes in designing green buildings, isn't hiring any full time engineers. Anyway, I haven't had much time for news lately...

    Green Tea vs. Coffee

    So on the way to catch the T to work the other day I grabbed a free paper "Stuff @ night" that had 'bodies by boston' as the cover. I flipped through the 20 or so interviews they did with the winners, and most of them mentioned giving up coffee for green tea. It got me thinking about the...
