HawkCam Returns

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

I posted last year about the red-tailed hawks nesting on a building ledge at MIT. They’re at it again. Two chicks were born about a month ago and it looks like dad sticks around while mom goes off hunting. I recommend keeping the window open in the corner of your desktop all day so you […]

Foosball is the DEVIL

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

And soy milk is the devil, too. And it apparently turns kids into homosexuals.

Coming to America

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

On January 8th 1950, the S.S. Franconia left Cobh, Ireland for New York City. On the 18th of January, after 10 days below deck in steerage, my mom, at 2 years and 11 months, arrived in America with her mother, brother and sister.

Red tailed hawks of MIT

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

Two baby red tailed hawks are nesting on a building ledge on MIT’s campus and are expected to take flight any day now. It’s all being captured on a live webcam perched only inches from their nest. This will probably ruin your productivity so you can thank me later. The live feed can be found […]

Get Your War On

Sunday, March 5th, 2006

A couple of years back, I stumbled on a hilarious web comic that skewered the War on Terror. Its quality waned quite a bit after a while though, so I forgot about it. But now that I’ve found it again, it’s almost as good as it was in the beginning. (If you’re unltra-conservative, you might […]

Address me as Sir Rhube, knave

Wednesday, February 8th, 2006

A new genetic survey brings to light something I had long suspected: royal blood flows through these veins. My lineage on my mother’s side can easily be traced back to Niall of the Nine Hostages, an Irish king of the 5th century. So basically, I’m a prince of Ireland. It’s science.

I am so smart. S-M-R-T.

Saturday, January 21st, 2006

Not to make you feel like less of a man, but I got 31 out of 33 on this bad boy. So, that means I’m some kind of freak-genius…

Just keep in mind, this test definitely has a British slant to its phrasing and that can throw you off on a couple. But you’re […]
