Free T-shirts

I was cleaning out my dresser in preparation for the beginning of a new semester and I found an extra large bright yellow T-shirt that said "Cal Football" on the front and had the AT&T logo on the back. Thousands were given out for free at one of our football games. I, being more of a medium type person, have never worn this shirt, nor have I seen them being worn. This got me thinking. Why spend hundreds of dollars printing and giving away T-shirts that no one is going to wear? To me, this seems to be exceptionally poor marketing. I suppose the reason the shirts were extra large was so that anybody could wear them. That's true, but I would say that far less than 1% of the college population is actually an extra-large and wouldn't look ridiculous wearing this giant shirt. So listen up AT&T: If you're going to be cheap bastards and only give away one size, make it a size that people actually fit into, such as a medium or a large. Sure, they'll be too small for some people, but you probably don't want only fat people to wear your shirt anyways.

Poof

I was looking through some of my old math homework assignments and I noticed that I had started to mispell "Proof:" as "Poof" instead. How awesome is that?

Chelsea Clinton came to my apartment today. She talked about her mom's campaign.

How surreal.

Winter Quarter Biz

Hi all.

I started my winter quarter and it has been pretty busy already. I'm not taking that many classes this quarter because of things like the GREs, projects, and job hunting. I really want to take a math class this quarter, but it is most likely for the wrong reasons.. (how can you *not* take a class titled: "analysis on manifolds"). My roommate keeps talking about taking "cocktail classes" because his parents don't think that his classes are interesting enough to talk to relatives about. I think "analysis on manifolds" is worthy of making its way into any conversation.

Anyhow, I've been applying to a bunch of places this summer. I think the most interesting and different one for me has been pixar. I originally wanted to go in as a software engineer, but the recruiter convinced me to try to put a portfolio together so I could be considered for more positions. Here is my awesome portfolio. The videos are definitely worth watching, especially the one for FIRST robotics.

Winter break needs to come back like a boomerang.

Out.

Hey, you!

Eddie's post

Did anyone else notice how Eddie's cracker box says "New!" in the upper right hand corner and "Original" right in the middle? Well if that doesn't appeal to all possible demographics, I don't know what does.
