If you shave your face and you are tired of paying $3 a piece for Mach 3 blades, I have some good news for you.
I have been doing a research project titled “How Cheap of A Blade Can My Face Tolerate?” and I am proud to endorse Target Brand Dual-Blade Pivoting Disposable Razor 10-pack (with lubricating strip).
Are they totally awesome? No. Are Mach 3 blades 7 times better? Hell no.
You’re welcome.

1 month ago1 month agoIn 1990, Harvard had an endowment of about $4.7-billion. That was still a lot of money, about $7.7-billion in today’s dollars. Only five other universities have that much money now. Over the next two decades the pile grew to colossal heights, $36.9-billion by mid-2008.
Harvard spent the money on many things. But not a dollar went to increasing the number of undergraduates it chose to bless with a Harvard education. In 1990 the university welcomed slightly more than 1,600 students to its freshman class. In 2008, $32-billion later, it enrolled slightly more than 1,600 freshmen.
Wow. This makes me crack up.

Just in case you were wondering how the first week of class was going …
**********************************************************
Dear [Department Chair],
Just an FYI.
A potential thief that has been plague’ing the department recently might have been caught today (around 12 noon).
(Note that last week a laptop was stolen from the 4th floor of CE.)
[Your’s Truly] spotted a “student” in a suit trying to open [Safety Guy]’s office in [Our Building]. [Your’s Truly] offered assistance and he offered comments about looking to register for a chemistry class and needing to locate the stairs, etc. [Your’s Truly] gave him directions and offered more assistance. [Your’s Truly], being suspicious, went to get some help on the 4th floor and found the guy trying once again to open the door to [Safety Guy’s Office].
Soon thereafter, the guy took off and went [Between Buildings]. [Your’s Truly] had gotten [Co-worker] to come over by then, and [Co-worker] chased him into [the next building] and continued to offer him assistance about “registering for classes in Chemistry”, etc. Since the guy was still trying to talk his way out of the situation, he came down to [Main Office] with [Co-worker] and continued to talk — sometimes very belligerently about how he was being profiled, etc.
The police were called.
Later, [Other Staff Member] relayed that this same guy was wandering around on the general chemistry lab floors as well this morning around 11:30 am. [Other Staff Member] also had a student inform him that she had seen the same guy wandering around the Science and Engineering Library this morning on the 1st and 3rd floors.
All of these individuals gave their stories to the 3 police officers that came to talk to the guy.
Eventually, they took him away in handcuffs and he apparently has an outstanding warrant for receiving stolen property.
I am not sure if this incident will stick in a court of law, but (1) I wanted to inform you of the situation and (2) I wanted to tell you that we hired Starsky [Me] and Hutch [Co-Worker] as auxiliary faculty.
Best regards,
[Vice-Chair]

I am way under-qualified to critique the graphic arts, but all I know is this guy is good.
Saw his work on 20X200 so I looked up further. Wow. If you’ve got 5 minutes, check it out: the rest of his work is fun, funny, and striking.
