When people guess my age
When people have guessed my age in the last 6 months, they've guessed 18, 20, 22.
The grad student peers who think I'm 22 said I should be happy to look so young. My concern was more that I acted and thought like a kid.
Maybe people will think I'm a child genius instead of a naive gen-Xer.

scientology video promoted on front page of youtube
Just watched What Scientologists Say About Scientology which made me look like this:

Give me your hipsters, your black people, your hungry artists and models looking for a bite to eat... I have nothing intelligent to say. It was a cute and empty attempt to make scientologists look like an oppressed category reclaiming their identities. Poor kids.

Enviro safe swiffer workaround

Enviro safe swiffer workaround
Originally uploaded by gleemie.
My mom does this, and today I do too because I don't own a mop but the kitchen is too gross for a regular swiffer. 1 instead of disposing swiffer sheets, I can rewash and use the towel 2 the towel is heavier duty 3 the towel is long run cheaper. snd this is better than a mop, I think, because towels are more generally usable and less tangly than mop heads.

Quiz me! Civic knowledge
I did not do as awesome as
zunger, clocking in at 91%. I got 78% on this American Civic Literacy quiz.
My weaknesses are generally macroeconomics and military history. I've always loved social-cultural history and fallen asleep at battle accounts. My gripe about the quiz is that it only included economic stuff about capitalism. Nothing about unions, workers rights, child labor, etc.

4 places I've shared intimately with Pinback
1. Terra House kitchen late in the night making nachos 2002
2. Meyer Library 24-hour study room while working on undergrad thesis in 2003
3. Google 2003, staying there until 6am finishing up my intern project
4. LUCI lab at UC Irvine where I've been since 9am working on a CSCW 2008 paper deadline
Pinback, I heart you so much. (But not live. You kind of weren't awesome when I saw you live.)

one way to love flossing
Floss with dental tape for a week, which is sort of like flossing with a flexible toothpick that pries your teeth apart painfully, but the box looks the same as regular floss so it is easy to buy unwittingly. Then give up and switch back to normal floss. It'll feel like summer breezes through your teeth in comparison.

Thank you, Mr. Hipster Record Clerk
Thank you Mr Hipster Record Clerk from nathan.
I think perhaps the key to this guy getting the hipster respect would have been for him to go super intense, explaining why he loved Rage Against the Machine and how they were underappreciated in freakish, music-referencing detail. But I do enjoy the charicature so...

This is much nicer than those cars that play music really loud but leave you only with deep bass. This bike is made to get everyone dancing.
