Can I borrow 2.3 mil?

The house from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is for sale. I'd much rather have the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California instead.

In Memory of Adam D. Young

That's how they should introduce this blog. Somebody has to have some freshman year pictures to contribute.

Facebook

Great post on how Facebook is eventually going to make money.

Comment #2 nails it on the head--"why would I want more spam?"

I'm confused by people who put their entire lives on Facebook. Don't people want a certain level of privacy in their lives?

Not Everything Has to be Mad!

Does anyone else find it annoying that everything in March is now "mad?" Among many others that I can't remember, here are just some examples of things that have (locally) gone crazy in the third month:

Starch Madness (at the local dry cleaners)
Legends Madness (new rent specials and events at a nearby apartment complex)
Tech Madness (something to do with something at the campus bookstore)

I really wish I could remember even more, but I'm losing my mind. At first, I thought it was due to our culture's fascination with alliteration (March Madness), but then some of the examples only work because of internal rhyme or a vague reference to the NCAA tournament. Either way, my rationalizations have yet to stop this "madness" madness from annoying me.

Can we just let March go back to the same normal month it used to be? Or, at the very least, personify other months--"Jacked January"(a big hit with the Monster Energy crowd), "Fucked February," "Appalling April" and so on--so this annoying sales gimmick can at least be consistently annoying?

While the BCS has its own problems, one thing that can be said about it is that it isn't mad--and I kinda like it that way!

What are you looking at?

Our good friend Joe Burke is getting married in October. Below is one of his engagement pictures.


I highly recommend setting it as your desktop background as I have. It's a gift that keeps on giving.

Get Rid of the Payroll Tax

I haven't read enough about the nuances of getting rid of the payroll tax, but this article from the New Yorker makes a very persuasive argument.
