Talkin' bout my generation

Sometimes just for a second with no fully formed logical explanation it seems to me that we're doing just fine.

10.4.11

Almost paradoxical for me, but an excellent reminder

It's peculiar and unnerving in a way to see so many young people walking around with cellphones and iPods in their ears and so wrapped up in media and video games. It robs them of their self-identity. It's a shame to see them so tuned out to real life. Of course they are free to do that, as if that's got anything to do with freedom. The cost of liberty is high, and young people should understand that before they start spending their life with all those gadgets.

Food (and instructions) for Final Exams

Ingredients:
-One (1) package of rice noodles
-One (1) bottle of peanut sauce on sale at PA
-One (1) package of spinach

Boil rice noodles. Douse in peanut sauce. Toss with spinach to assuage feelings of guilt brought on by poor nutrition. Put in tupperware.

Think about the behaviour of the heat equation (with solutions bounded at infinity) at the outside boundary of a threedimensional spherical domain.

Despair.

Open tupperware.

Eat noodles.

Do pushups.

Feel better.
