Beethoven's Birthday + A playlist

Carnivorous Sheep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 06:30:31 +0900

December 16th marks the birthday of Beethoven, my favorite composer. This gives me an excuse to marathon Beethoven works (even more so than usual, that is) So to procrastinate studying for finals, I threw together a playlist of some of my favorite pieces + awesome recordings of them. These are not necessarily the "best" recordings of the pieces, or even my personal favorites, but t...

Help finding video!

Carnivorous Sheep — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 15:11:07 +0900

I was recently remidned of a video I saw in chemistry class a couple years back, where it was a really hilarious short (< 5 minutes) "documentary" of what the world would look like without a certain element. It was a fairly common element, metal or metalloid, and I think it had a 1-2 syllable name. Highlights from the video that I remember include: -A car exploding. -A woman...

Computer/Internet Issue

Carnivorous Sheep — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 10:53:24 +0900

Pretty weird/annoying thing that's been happening for a while now. What would happen is that after some period of internet usage, I would be unable to establish new connections. As in, I can't load any more pages or anything. However, my existing connections (IMs, torrents, downloads) would still work fine, meaning I still have internet. I just can't start any new connections. I have no idea wh...

Sashimi (Sushi) in NYC?

Carnivorous Sheep — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 12:55:30 +0900

So I love sashimi (the raw fish on top of sushi) but haven't really had any since I came to college. The cravings are getting harder and harder to resist, so I need to figure out where to get some. Now, I know there are countless sushi restaurants in NYC. However, being a poor college student on poor college student funds, I need to find a nice cheap place. What I'm looking for: The be...

Yay! It's that time of year again, and after being first introduced to this in thre years ago and failing, and being too lazy the two subsequent years, I've decided that I'll try to make some time and screw around with this this year. I fully expect to fail miserably, but if I can produce a few thousand coherent words I'll be happy enough! Anyone else embarking on this? PS For those of...

Microecon problem that oppressed me

So I just took my microeconomics midterm, and all was fine and dandy with the exception of this one problem that seems like it raped everyone I talked to. Can someone explain to me WTF is going on here? My book is terribad so it's no help :[ Given F(K,L) = 2K + 10L^1/2, where K is capital and L is labor, find the following: Marginal products of labor and capital. This part seemed easy...

Carnegie Hall Rush Tickets

Carnivorous Sheep — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 05:45:38 +0900

So I want to go to a concert at Carnegie Hall, and according to their site, there is this "Rush Tickets" thing. http://www.carnegiehall.org/article/box_office/art_discount_programs.html Anyone ever did this? Are they available for -every- concert in Stern, and about how early do I have to show up? (Too cheap/poor to just buy tickets for like $50 ahead of time xD)
