The bulky Texas Instruments calculators have been staples of math classes for years. But these timeless beauties can do more than formulate, umm…. formulas, they can act as your new Game Boy.
If fact, some creative chaps managed to put Zelda on the TI-83.
But the fun doesn’t stop there, ticalc.org has a list of other [...]
One of the new things I am reading everywhere is the sudden realization that the pictures you post online will one day come back to haunt you. Colleges such as the University of Virgina even have a slide show warning parents and students about online stupidity (CNN article here).
While, I’ll admit I have touched [...]
We’ve discussed how bad New Jersey residents have have it. But California, long known for having some of the lowest in-state tuition in the country, is slowly raising its fees. Governor Schwarzenegger has just asked for higher rates.

There is no worse feeling: you rummage through your kitchen in the quest to make a delicious sandwich. And then you realize that your bread has those tiny green marks throughout. Looks like mold has gotten the best of your bread as nature took its course.
When confessing this to a relative, they told me to [...]
Stu.dicio.us is a new AJAX driven note taking service that allows the sharing of notes between students. I decided to take Stu.dicio.us for a test drive to see if it should be added to every students toolbox.
The main page is very clean and simple like any Web 2.0 page should be. While you can play [...]
As I was barely hatching the plan to write a “What to bring to college” post, Andrew over at DormDelicious had already beat me to it. DD has a three part series on what to bring, including what NOT to bring, Things You Should Split With Your Roommate and Things you might have forgotten.
