Thoughts for the Day
(Courtesy of my officemate Bill)
1. Yesterday he implored me to use my super-powers not simply "for good," but "for awesome."
2. He also reminded me of my aspiration to become the best second-rate mathematician in the world.
You know, there's a co-op in Berkeley called "Fort Awesome." Isn't that a great name? Sometimes they call it "Fort King Awesome," which is kind of funny too.
P.S. I quote you on that second-rate mathematician thing all the time. My goal is to become the very best second-rate scholar of religion I can be. Woo hoo!
Three cheers for Bill!
