Who is Sick?

http://whoissick.org/sickness/

Our Story

The genesis of the idea for Who Is Sick was actually from an acute need that our founder had when his wife started experiencing severe stomach pain while they were on vacation. With no way of knowing whether the pain was from appendicitis, food poisoning, or some other stomach illness, our vacationing couple went to the emergency room and waited for 4 hours (BTW - this was from 11pm until 3am) to be seen by a doctor...only to be told that there was a stomach flu going around and that if the pain didn't go away in 24 hours, to come back. Wow. 4 hours wait for that...in the middle of the night... (of course the doctor did check to see if it was appendicitis so they weren't all bad...).

Our founder thought, "if only there were a website that had current AND local sickness information, maybe we could have avoided the long wait." Needless to say, this started the wheels spinning and a couple of months later, Who Is Sick was born.

Our inspiration for the design of the site came from Craigslist and HousingMaps. One - a remarkably simple and intuitive user generated content site that has bucked the trend of "slick and cool" for simple and easy. The other - the first truly groundbreaking mashup that also put simplicity over full-featured functionality and complexity. We've done our best to provide the same type of experience.

Woot

This website offers one gadget a day for an unbelievably low price. It varies from computers to fans to handheld sudoku to pretty much anything.

They have a limited amount and once they sell out it is done.

I try to check everyday, because the deals are really good.

Forever Stamp

The Post Office is now offering the "Forever Stamp"

The current price for a stamp is 39 cents, and this stamp sells for 41 cents.

BUT, this stamp is valid FOREVER...even if the price of a stamp exceed 41 cents in the future.

If I am calculating this correctly, if we spend a few million dollars by stocking up on these stamps we can save some serious money.

Get your wallets out.

This may be the most depressing article ever. I've decided I want to die young or cure aging. It's also kind of long, so you probably shouldn't read it. The author is one of my favorites; here a short piece about him.

Here's religious question for Manish:
You are a product tester and frequently bring your work home. Yesterday, while dressed in a flame resistant suit (up to 3,000 degrees) and carrying the latest model fire extinguisher, you discover your neighbor's house is on fire. As the flames quickly spread, you stand and watch your neighbor's new baby burn to death. Which of the following best describes your behavior?
A) All-powerful
B) All-knowing
C) All-loving
D) Mysterious

anti-religion and how speakers work

Last night I saw Jon Stewart interview Christopher Hitchens who just wrote the book God Is Not Great.

So I decided to look up some reviews of this book and found some excerpts here.
Hitchens is absolutely ruthless, I thought it was a great read.
(On a side note the site http://slate.com/that it is hosted on is pretty cool, check it out)

Then in searching for more stuff by this guy, I found a lecture (2 mp3s that you can download) he did with Richard Dawkins and another guy about why we would be better off without religion.
(The site it is hosted on is Richard Dawkin's main website http://richarddawkins.net/home which has a ton of really interesting links)

After listening to this, it made me wonder how speakers work (I had heard enough about religion). Answer.

Sorry, its been a slow night for me in Princeton. Oh by the way, Princeton's campus is beautiful. I would describe it as a UNC-Duke hybrid.
