Best. Idea. EVER.
Just heard about Treatbot, the karaoke ice cream truck that looks like a robot. Srsly. Apparently, if you get over 90 on a karaoke song on the back of the truck, you get free ice cream! On Yelp, there are some critics of the concept, but everyone gushes about the flavors, including horchata, ube (a Pacific island fruit?), and Bollywood pistachio ( Read more... ) -
Save the Moreland Woods bunnies!
The Mercury News just ran a series of articles about the rabbit population in Moreland Woods. First, the rather discouraging "Who's killing the bunnies at San Jose's Easterbrook School?", then today's "Help on the way for bunnies in San Jose's Moreland Woods". As you can probably guess, it's not at all an ideal place for rabbits, since there's no ( Read more... ) -
How to Become an Economist
"Rule No.5: Write Well
I think of myself as a mediocre writer. I do not come by my

Feeling bleh. Diagnosis?
So, I woke up (after about 6 hours of sleep) with my head swimming as I tried to look around the room. The lovely radiators had been on all night regardless of the recent "warm" weather (45 degrees outside!), so it was over 80 degrees inside, and I'd been sleeping in a sweatshirt and fleece pants. My forehead was vaguely clammy and my temperature ( Read more... ) -
Things that don't substitute for other things
So, I've been learning so much recently:
Men's tailored dress pants are not the same as women's tailored dress pants. (Discovered ruefully after a J. Crew sample sale with ridiculously low prices, but apparently jumbled men's and women's racks and with a "no-trying-on" policy.)
Tablespoons are not the same as teaspoons. (I'm looking at you, ( Read more... ) -
