Personal Credit Card Reader

Engadget posted a sweet article on a new device that will allow users to take credit card payments through an iPhone. Imagine how that could improve the way you pay people...it could just about eliminate checks. I could get my roommates' and tutorees payments via credit card.

Boost Your Faith In Humanity

On Tuesday, I went to the bike shop before school, then hunting for plaster of paris, then to my office to do some work and eat lunch, then swimming, back to the office, then stupid hazing presentation. Well, I forgot to lock my bike on the rack behind Bellamy around noon after hunting for plaster. I came out maybe an hour, hour and a half later and nobody had messed with it. Amazing. It's a pretty sweet bike...not top of the line or anything, but totally worth stealing. I'm sure some people saw the opportunity. It made me feel better about society knowing that nobody capitalized on that golden opportunity.

Abrazado

Ayer estaba montado en bicicleta durante la vuelta de FSU a mi casa cuando no pude recordar la palabra española para "arm." ¡Ay! Tengo que practicar más. Al principio fije en "hombro," pero sepía que no lo es. Siguiente, "brazo" que parece que tiene razón pero no fue seguro. Después pensé sobre la palabra "abrazar" y decidí que sí, es "brazo" que significa "arm" porque "abrazar" a alguien es como ponerle entre los brazos.

Sigma = S, not E

I've seen it a lot, but mostly in the word Greek...Sigmas used as the letter E: GRΣΣK...I guess it looks like an E, but it's really an S. It doesn't really bother me. In fact, it's kind of creative. I just wonder if they know it's wrong.
