@sophster is arguably the most obsessive person on earth. Two of her many obsessions are Pixar and Ellen. She’s been planning for Finding Dory for months. I know what you’re thinking: isn’t she too old to dress up for a cartoon? No she is not because she has a beautiful and infectious enthusiasm for life. We could all use a little of that. Read more…

1. I love that the day we met when she was 14 she was so tan I thought she was a foreign exchange student from … somewhere.

2. I love that she got that tan not on the beach but working in the corn fields.

• @list database administrator.

  So I could go find all the lists with this title and change “an option” (which really doesn’t make sense) to “a concern”. The expression, of course, is “money is no OBJECT” but even that’s wrong because we’re not suggesting we’d pay any price for this career. We’re just saying if we didn’t care about making money, right? I mean I guess technically taking a huge pay cut could be considered paying a price, but that’s stretching it. And anyway, “option” has nothing to do with it at all.

XKCD is my favorite web comic. Actually it is the only web comic I read. It is well suited to programmers and math/science nerds but also general-interest funny from time to time. Every once in a while though it gets a little touching. Read more…

• A lot of people think the “twin paradox” of relativity just means if you fly away in a space ship going close to the speed of light you’ll age more slowly than your twin at home and then you’ll paradoxically have twins two different ages.

• While perhaps surprising that isn’t actually paradoxical. And it is wrong.

Maybe this is just a thing schools do now because @sophster goes to a totally different school from @imc and her “8th Grade Promotion” included a personal message/tribute to each kid too! Once again these lovely lovely teachers spoke truth. Read more…

@imc’s high school has a cool tradition called Senior Tribute Night where the teaches prepare a roughly 2 minute speech about each and every graduating senior. Students and parents then get to hear smart, heartfelt, funny tributes to all these awesome kids. Isabel’s beloved music teacher did hers. It was so sweet. Here are some things she said. Read more…

Thanks for the rec! I’m really kind of cheap in the sense that I don’t really “get” buying fancy things like nice cars and clothes. I’m a-ok with basic and dependable. And pretty much anytime I buy something frivolous I regret it about 24 hours later. But all these things are more expensive than the alternatives and totally worth it… Read more…
