Mine is better than yours
That’s right, I said it. The place I spend my days is better than the place you spend your days. I’m sorry, it’s just true. Core is an amazing place, and I’m fortunate to be a part of it. Look what we did a little while ago. Then go check out the Silver Spring Neighborhood [...]
Designing Confidence
I stole this from Frankie Flood: This is super cool. This is the kind of thing that is really exciting to me. People printing coat hooks and key chains and other nonsense make me a little ill, but this kind of thing in amazing. This changes how people think.

The romance is a little bit of an idiot. We laugh about this, and then he falls immediately back to sleep. It [...]
The Neil deGrasse Tyson Event, Part 3: Deuteronomy (or Dude-eronomy)
The a capella group wraps up, and someone stands up to introduce the man: blah, blah, blah, Hayden Planetarium, blah, blah, blah, Pluto, blah, blah, blah, new book. For his part, Dr. Tyson basically does the high-five line down to the stage and gets right into it: Neil deGrasse Tyson speaking at UW-Madison Watch/listen to the whole [...]
