On the Lot 1 & 2 Review

» by Chewxy May 27th, 2007 at 10:53 am » Comments (3)

I have a confession to make: I say I don’t like reality TV (except the Amazing Race), but I’m addicted to On the Lot. Yep. It’s a Steven Spielberg and Mark Burnett show. And damn, I like it! Episodes 1 and 2 were audition episodes, and were shown back to back, so here’s a quick [...]



The Other Person

I’ve been having lots of lunches and dinners lately. I mean, lunch is really over-rated (since if you wake up at 7 and have breakfast by 8, you won’t feel hungry till about 6 p.m.).

I’ve got like over 300 spam comments and another 30+ spam email in my inbox. [...]

I’ve been reading quite a number of C.V.s these days, and I’ve noticed a few things:

Out of the 50+ applications I received, roughly half are male and the other are female.
95% of the female applicants (21 out of 23) sent me a nicely typed out C.V. Some are not as proficient in Microsoft Word, but [...]



Numb3rs

Tyler Cowen blogged about Benford’s Law yesterday. Today there is a nice discussion going on there.
People who went to bookshops with me in the last 3 weeks or so may now understand why I’m kinda psyched about Tyler blogging Benford’s Law. Some of my friends have been wondering what I was doing reading up books [...]



Random Morning Musings

More random stuff:

Audrey Hepburn
