I know I talk about school a lot lately. Frankly, it's just one of few things that are at the forefront of my mind right now. Justifiably so, if you ask me. I have a countdown clock on my Facebook...I think I'm sitting at somewhere around 400 days left until December 11, 2010 when at … Continue reading The Omnivore’s Dilemma…and my own

I'm pretty staunchly against complacency. I'm against it because it … Continue reading Exercises in Futility?
