Thank you, Ulysses S. Grant. Yesterday, I found a (rather soggy) $50 bill in the Best Buy parking lot. This is the largest “loose change” I’ve found by $49.50. It will cover some combination of Emery’s and my most recent grocery run, our Saturday trip into Philly, and Friday’s beer run.

I love the smell of code in the morning. Today I churned out 777 lines of code. An oddly auspicious number, don’t you think? I didn’t even try to get that… but wc says that’s how many lines I have. I now have a resizable GLUT drawing window that will respond to keyboard events. I […]

The best fitting jeans I found at Kohl’s were two pair of JNCO Jeans, which unfortunately feature a large JNCO crown logo on the left thigh.

My right eye is the real culprit, but it’s just bad enough that I have to strain a bit to see the board in larger classrooms. At least Swarthmore […]

t3h dRuNk}[x0r!!!!! Between my friends and me, we killed four bottles of champagne, plus some mixed drinks. I think there were only two spills, one of which involved a crucial bottle being opened with seconds to spare before midnight. Anna, Jang-Soo, Gus, and Emily stayed for the long haul, including Gus’ girlfriend from CMU Chelsea. […]
