My friend Nori is getting an MBA specializing in sustainable management / environmental economics. She’s got an assignment in honor of Earth Day to get people to calculate their personal CO2 emissions. So, if you’d be so kind as to help her out, that would be awesome. You won’t have to buy […]
Doesn’t elite mean good? Is that not something we’re looking for in a president anymore? … The job you’re applying for — if you get it, and it goes well, they might carve your head into a mountain. If you don’t actually think you are better than us, then what the f@*k are you doing? […]
You know, maybe a few people should feel bitter.
If Barack Obama or anyone else really cares to know what I think, I will simplify it all down to this. The landmark political fact of our time is the replacement of our middle-class republic by a plutocracy. If some candidate has a scheme to reverse this […]

It’s kind of about the strange, uncomfortable feeling of reuniting with old friends only to find that the magic just isn’t there anymore - and in turn, about the melancholy “nothing will ever be as good as it used to be” type of nostalgia, of which I am increasingly fond.

Willpower in one area (like dieting) is weakened by its use in other areas (like studying), but if you keep at it, you increase your overall supply - cool!
