The Blue Book on Facebook

Posted by Adam Bildersee on August 27, 2007 12:08 PM | Permalink

Thanks to the magic of Facebook applications, now you can actually put Record Blue Book classes into your Facebook profile! This application, based on the content of the Record Blue Book, based in turn on the content of the Yale Blue Book (let's be honest, who reads that one anyway?), lets you browse through funny classes in real and fake departments. You can even make up your own schedule of these classes to put in your profile.

The application is ready for open beta testing, so if you like to get in on the ground floor, test it out, provide suggestions, or just generally hack around with it, take a look at it!

Super Duper Ultra Packing List of Awesome!!!1!

Posted by Celina Kirchner on August 26, 2007 3:42 AM | Permalink

Haha! After several hours of moving, shuffling, grumbling, stooping, squishing, shoving, taping, wrapping, sifting, and various utterances of general frustration, I am officially packed for back to school!! In celebration, I have compiled this list of packing musts for any Yale student.

1. Husband Pillow (Bedlounge): This pillow is particularly important because it has all the qualities I seek in a man - continuous support for my upper back in a variety of attractive styles.

2. Towel (Prankplace): Just as you start rubbing down your hair, your roommate let's you know that she borrowed your towel this morning. In this situation, you'll want to be completely clear on where the parts touching your hair have been.

3. Computation Device (Science eStore): For computations, of course. Slower models available at Sony.com

4. Plastic Bucket (Instawares): Because let's be honest, all suitemates get into sticky situations... The bucket keeps problems in the hands (and hair) of that suitemate.


Optional Items:

5. Kitchen Scale: Because all bananas are not created equal

6. Grip-N-Flip, Scoop-N-Strain Set (As-Seen-On-TV.com): Saturday night pancakes will never be the same!

7. The Wall Street Journal: Calm down, you don't have to read it. Just carry it around in your bag and pull it out any time you want to scare someone off with how damn smart you are. (Substitutions include War and Peace (Amazon.com), The Feminine Mystique (Amazon.com), or Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Amazon.com)).

Hurricane Howard Dean

Posted by Adam Bildersee on August 24, 2007 1:34 PM | Permalink

Howard Dean dropped off the map after his failed bid for the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, but with the advent of Hurricane Dean - one of the strongest hurricanes in recent history - the name Dean and its associations are apparently on many peoples' minds.

Here is a great mashup of the Dean shout with a projected path of Hurricane Dean, with Scorpions music to boot (can you guess the song?). It's at YTMND.com, which stands for "You're the Man Now, Dog!", the famous line spoken by Sean Connery in the movie Finding Forrester. This website consists of user-created content often to create puns or more elaborate jokes. With no further ado:
