Pulled minutes ago, from everyone’s favorite site.

Good to know I’m living in a building “currently under construction”. And that I lived in one all last year.

Maybe she’ll never listen to Shakira again. Currently stuck at #1 on Google Video. *Warning*: Don’t eat while watching. I speak from experience.

Folks around Olin know this already but for those who dont: One of the cool parts of Olin is that our laundry machines are hooked up to the internet. We’re able to check when our whites are done. It’s a pretty sweet setup, and given the choice between this and its bastard cousin the OneCard [...]

Last night, a large number of e-mails were sent to the randomness mailing list. (Of course, if you’re just hearing about this, welcome back from your coma.) These e-mails, a long thread on politics, the seperation of church and state, the ten commandments, and so on, were all pretty tasteless, right from the beginning. At [...]

I got asked to take a survey (did everyone?) on the new careers site here at Olin. I’m extremely impressed, it’s a nice-looking site with lots of content – a rarity in these parts (*cough* projects.olin.edu *cough*) Props to Sean and the PGP staff for the hotness. I know I’ll be using it in the [...]

Ah, Olin, you’re a pretty kick-ass place.
Even the Princeton Review thinks so.
Meh. There are some things I disagree with. Like our #2 in food (since I personally think the dining hall missed the mark last year. Does this mean food at a non top 20 school is served by persons wearing radioactive hazard suits?) [...]

is a Progressive Politics and Ideas Club.
I’m not joking. While we may be a left-leaning school in the most liberal of states, we’re certainly not doing our part to ensure progessive ideas are heard and acted upon on our campus. So, in all seriousness, why hasn’t Democrats of Olin College started?
Yes, part of it is [...]

I just recieved an advance copy of the 2005-2006 Parents’ Handbook (not a personal copy, obviously, but one for the library’s collection). I’m impressed with the number of people, especially in my class, who elected to change their picture. If you’re not an Oliner, let me backtrack: there are two handbooks published yearly, one for [...]
