Lakers Parade

Yesterday was the parade celebrating the Lakers’ victory over the Celtics in the NBA Playoffs.  Police estimated 65,000 fans showed up.  I took Metrolink up to Los Angeles for the day and watched the parade from the same spot in front of the Convention Center that I did last year.

Rowdy Board of Managers Party?

Dozing off on the stage

Now that I have my diploma from Swarthmore, it’s safe to post this picture. Looks like the Swarthmore dignitaries had a late night of partying…

Spring Break

Iconic London vehicles

It’s incredible that a month has already passed since Spring Break.  I traveled to the UK to visit a friend studying systems engineering at Oxford.  I was able to see London, Oxford, Bath, and Sheffield.  Highlights included the London Transport Museum, riding the DLR, drinking the spring water at Bath, rooting for Oxford in a national championship football match, and hearing some good news on my last night in London.

Reactivation

After a two-month hiatus, my updates return just like the Clothier Bells’ ringing (the reactivation of which, probably inspired by all of the tuition-payers visiting for Parents’ Weekend, still has not fixed the chimes that are randomly omitted or the hour-long daylight savings time lag).

Much has happened in the last couple of months, so expect updates over the next week as I procrastinate on my Urban Studies thesis and E90 project.

Burying the Big Chair

The mischevious work of certain Swarthmore students was featured on the College's homepage

The campus awoke on April 1 to find the big chair buried.  Students, faculty, and administrators were astounded.  The Facilities Department apparently got a number of sympathetic emails from professors expressing disgust for the disrespectful students who dug a giant hole in Parrish Beach.

Fear, Inc.

Excerpt from a great post at TomDispatch:

Since September 11th, terror in the US has rated above fatalities from shark attacks and not much else. Since the economic meltdown of 2008, it has, in fact, been left in the shade by violent deaths that stem from reactions to job loss, foreclosure, inability to pay the rent, and so on.

This is seldom highlighted in a country perversely convulsed by, and that can’t seem to get enough of, fantasies about being besieged by terrorists. [Read the full post here]
