Can anyone tell that I’m tired of the job search process? Right now I’m waiting to the stupid monster server to let me properly re-upload stuff.
But in the mean time, check this out. Pacman with an interesting and strategic twist; it’s surprisingly good!
If anyone at Wilder finds themselves with a light work load and/or a desire to help a friend in need, I’m happy to oblige. Gaynell tells me that the fancy Dartmouth bond paper has arrived (it lives in the supply cabinet in the copy room) and as such my thesis needs to be printed and taken over to Wentworth 304.
Of course, it’s not a simple as that. (Here is the directions .pdf from the Grad Studies page.)
(1) Print the thesis on this bond paper (thick stuff, has a Dartmouth seal watermark). One-sided, high-quality printing. [This is outlined in point 2, page 2 of the pdf.]
(2) Take said ~250 pages and put them in a box [see point 5, page 5]. From Judy, get the signed copy of the title page and the “certification form”, and then take all these over to Ruth Dube at 304 Wentworth. Once I victim, I mean gopher has contacted me I will let her know to expect you.
(3) I’m pretty sure that’s all that has to be done, but it would be a good idea to check with Judy to make sure I’m not forgetting anything.
I had originally hoped to get the paper myself, print it out (in color) at Kinko’s and then send it back, but there’s not time (I have to get this done by the time Ruth leaves for Christmas break, which is either tomorrow or Friday.) So, printing it out on the black-and-white printer up in the atrium should be okay (almost all figures are ok in greyscale), and you’ll just need to babysit it to make sure that it prints on the bond paper properly, etc.
So, if you can do this today and tomorrow, please let me know and I’ll email you a copy of my thesis. Thanks in advance!
Well, apparently it’s not the booze or the ciggys, it’s the lack of fasting that makes us die faster.
While I don’t recommend this to Nathaniel, and it’s counterproductive if you’re dieting, people say that fasting one day a month reduces arterial plaque. I like the idea that it hits the reset button, that kinda makes sense.
Actually, this is pretty cool; sending Voyager II along a similar but opposite “flight” path that Voyager I took 30 years ago, we can determine the degree of asymmetry of the heliosphere, and thus the solar system.
Of course, it’s a horrible shame that Chris refuses to post on the blog, but here’s something to ask him about in person: porn stars.
It’s a good story.
Just for the record, these are the porn names that I would consider using if I was going to be in an adult video.

We got some little stuffed Christmas ornaments on sale this week and it wasn’t until we got them home that I realized there was something wrong with one of them… a dark evil soul.
Look at the picture and guess which one.
Last Wednesday I bought snow tires. My 2WD Toyota Highlander slides around in bad weather like a hotdog in a bun. So last Monday I alternately called City Tires and Interstate Tires until one of the lines wasn’t busy. Mr. City Tires asked what size tires I needed. “I drive a Toyota Highlander.” ”Let’s see… that’s a 225-70. I just have Firestone Winterforce in that size.” “Would you recommend those?” “Thas all I got in that size. I’m all outta th’ others.”
So I decided to go for it. $109 a tire including installation, and another $10 each for studs. I figured I was probably getting gypped, but I didn’t really know what to do about that. On Wedensday I waited an extra half hour “the stud gun broke. it’s been a helluva day” and finally was ready to check out. “What’d I say, $129?” “No, you said $119. $109+$10 for studs.” “Oh, yeah, right, probably forgot to write it down.” Umm…
This morning in a moment of weakness I pulled out the invoice. There’s a $12 recycling fee (what did they recycle? They put my summer tires in my trunk) and a $15.50/tire studding service. Umm… I thought it was $10/tire.
So, my question is, how do I interact with members of the automotive services community without getting taken advantage of?
