  • Steve writing note…

    …I have a very strong tendancy to start a sentence with subordinate clauses (at least I think that is what they are).

    English major out there…Tell me what the the beginning clause is called.

    As the sheep slept, Lucy had nothing to count.

    This is by far my most interesting post.

  • Couple of Good Comics

    Thankfully, I applied to Grad Schools LAST year.

    And thank god for Academia

  • Kirkwood in Princeton

    At some point I will write a longer post about my thoughts regarding Princeton so far, but today I found it interesting how much attention my T-Shirt got.

    I simply wore a red T-Shirt that said Kirkwood (where I went to High School), and I got three comments regarding it.

    • Isn’t Kirkwood the name of the country club in Caddy Shack?
    • Is that from Kirkwood, California (I have never heard of Kirkwood California)
    • A fellow Politics student recognized the name of the High School, as one of her college roommates is a (Kirkwood) Pioneer Alum.

    I never thought Kirkwood would get so much attention in Jersey.

  • First night in Princeton, funny social scientist joke

    Three professors — a physicist, a chemist, and a statistician — are at a department head meeting when a fire breaks out in a wastebasket.

    The physicist says, “I know what to do! We must cool down the materials until their temperature is lower than their ignition temperature and then the fire will go out.”

    The chemist says, “No! No! I know what to do! We must cut off the supply of oxygen so that the fire will go out due to lack of one of the reactants.”

    As the physicist and the chemist debate what to do, the statistician runs around the room lighting more fires.

    “What are you doing?!” the physicist and the chemist scream.

    The statistician replies, “We’re going to need a larger sample size.”

  • Elkind Brothers

    The Elkind brothers are the impressive duo.  They will be stars in their day.  Probably anticipating Rich’s stardom, our friend Matt made the following

    So, after some Facebook scouring, I decided to help Stephen (Junior Elkind) to his spin off stardom.

    Oh the Elkinds, I will get to say I knew them when.

    UPDATE: 7/13/2008

    The success of Meet Rich and Meet the Better Brother sparked demand for a prequel:

    I definitely have to give a hat tip to the elder Elkinds for their Facebook prowess.  Tagging baby pictures of your children is pretty awesome.

    Well let Kyle explain…

  • Get by with a little help…

    In Missouri, there is a contested Democratic Primary for Attorney General.  There are three candidates, Chris Koster (former Republican as of a year ago), Jeff Harris (Minority Leader of House), and Margaret Donnelley.

    Jeff Harris released this video the other day.  For those non-Missourians Matt Blunt (Republican Governor of Missouri), is the gentleman joining Ashcroft and Bush.

    Has some Jib Jab quality to it.
