It looks pretty interesting. I studied physics in school and have been thinking about going back for an MS in computational modeling, so I'm thinking I'll start in on this book over the weekend just for fun. I've never used a Lisp-like language before, and it looks to be a pretty comprehensive review of classical mechanics as well.

Surely you've heard of the Stairway to Heaven?

>I don't understand why so many people in startups feel the need to rip on MBA's

It's because we've worked at startups where MBAs were brought in on the middle management layer and wasted our time polishing nuts and bolts in order to reduce drag when what we should have been doing was upgrading the suspension from a Watt's linkage to MacPherson struts.

Bloodhounds come to mind.

Hidden third option: building space rockets and driving Ferraris.

I thought this had been known for a while?

I recall discussing in a class that Archimedes was known to have approximated integrals and may have even known enough about limits to have derived integral calculus.

The bike is a pretty cool idea. I could see myself pedaling to burn off extra steam rather than just tapping my knee up and down.

Hook that thing up to a light or a series of LEDs and you've got enough whiz-bangery to set off my OCD and force a continual state of working out.

Is the song by The Offspring at all related?

I no longer attend school, but when I did it was at the University of California at Irvine.

Just down the street from Blizzard, for all you WOW players.
