Woot

http://www.woot.com/

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.

Ducks Gone Wild!

Amazing article about duck sex and evolution
Here's a link to longest duck penis ever seen

A city of 2 million with no addresses or street names. link

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.
