Anagram-Agar Man

One of the young adult novels I read this summer, An Abundance of Katherines, is a story about a prodigy named Colin with a penchant for dating and being dumped by girls named Katherine: nineteen Katherines, nineteen times exactly. After Katherine XIX breaks his heart, his devastation inspires him to prove his Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, a "mathematical formula that predicts which of two people will end a romantic relationship and when..." etc.

Anyway, Colin possesses a prodigious talent for anagramming, and reading the novel led to the discovery of an amusing website (if you don't think it's cool, remember that I am easily amused): Internet Anagram Server, which incidentally can be anagrammed, "I, Rearrangement Servant." Type in your letters and in three seconds, behold the first 1000 anagrams.

So, if you ever get bored, or have too much time on your hands, check it out.

Geithner on Meet the Press

I'm glad he doesn't give up on trying to get him to respond to the actual question. Unfortunately, he never does answer the question.

Where the Wild Things Are

Check out the new movie trailer.

(The song is "Wake Up" by Arcade Fire)

Financial Policies

At first I thought Timothy Geithner might be able to do a good job as Treasury secretary. I thought that with all the bright people Obama has surrounded himself with that he would have a plan. Unfortunately, I was wrong. I don't often agree with Paul Krugman, but here is a link to a good article who wrote on the disastrous financial policy we have had so far.

Winter Break

I've finally decided to put up some pictures from our winter break vacation when we visited CA, went to Magic Mountain, and visited the Huntington Library in Pasadena.

Mrs. Rich

A little over a week ago I took a Friday off and was able to go in and see Sarita's classroom. Here's a picture of her.
