Okay so this isn't totally related, but there's something about the mélange between pirates and techies that just makes my heart sing. I get that this course is just supposed to be fun/a joke... but the cultural kinship betwe

I have an iPod touch and (perversely) like not having data when I'm out. I can still use Google Maps and connect to WiFi when necessary, but prefer when my psychic default isn't always "plugged in". Of course, I'm a

I thought this was a pun on the headline (implying that Urschel was not only a Ravens OL, but the author of a study.) He's actually a math Ph.D at MIT! Crazy.

Ah yes, that holy grail of humanity: starting a business. Thank heavens that the czars of capitalism have given us such a generous outlet for all that latent human potential—unlike say, starting a family, starting a full-time art project, s
