swagbucks?

Posted on 19 April 2011 By antipaucity No Comments on swagbucks?

I’m trying to do some research regarding swagbucks, but so far haven’t found much about them – other than they appear to be legit. Are they the 2011 incarnation of iWon?

menu analysis – burger king

Posted on 1 April 2011 By antipaucity No Comments on menu analysis – burger king

Burger King has a new series of sandwiches called “stackers“. It’s a cheeseburger with bacon (and fairly tasty, as fast-food burger go). They come in three sizes: single, double, and triple. The single is $1, the double $2, and the triple $3. What do you get on the sandwich? A bun, patty, cheese, sauce, and…

how much does “quality” matter?

Posted on 24 February 201115 October 2017 By antipaucity 1 Comment on how much does “quality” matter?

For several years, I have done business with Harbor Freight and Northern Tool and Equipment. Both are low-medium cost suppliers of tools, supplies, and equipment. This morning I received the weekly email sales flier from Harbor Freight, and see they have a 19.2v cordless drill for $24.99 (regular price $29.99). This got me to thinking…

jeopardy! was wrong

Posted on 6 January 20116 January 2011 By antipaucity 1 Comment on jeopardy! was wrong

A recent Final Jeopardy! question said there are two pairs of countries which differ in spelling by only two letters: Australia/Austria and one other. The answer they were looking for was Niger/Nigeria. Well, I was thinking about this recently and realized there is a third pair: Mali/Malawi. It’s not often you see errors on Jeopardy!…

nasa searching for new challenges

Posted on 4 October 2009 By antipaucity No Comments on nasa searching for new challenges

I saw this in /. earlier in the week. Apparently NASA is turning to the American public for new challenge/contest ideas. I don’t know whether to be impressed that they’re trying to get new perspective.. or scared that they can’t come up with it on their own. There’s lots and lots of smart people at…

one-way to mars

Posted on 7 September 2009 By antipaucity No Comments on one-way to mars

The NY Times has an interesting op-ed on this topic today. Maybe we should consider sending people on one-way trips to Mars because if they’re explorers as earth-bound ones were, presuming a return trip may be too expensive – or even undesirable. We’ve had lots of experience as humans of sending people on one-way trips….

out/open-sourcing education

Posted on 6 September 20096 September 2009 By antipaucity 3 Comments on out/open-sourcing education

Along with the /. post mentioned by Jason, is Bob Cringely’s discussion on outsourcing education. What is the emphasis on in-person education from specific professors? I’ve been asked for my transcript professionally once – and that’s because my current employer pays more attention to grades than technical aptitude. I can recall only a small handful…
