I appreciate you adults out...

I appreciate you adults out there acknowledging the unfairness that teenagers must submit to on a daily basis (otherwise known as school). I go to a magnet-type highschool, which is supposedly a highschooler's best bet for getting into a good college, but very few students over the age of sixteen at my school get more than six hours of sleep a night. I myself usually get around five. Frequently, I wonder how directly hours of sleep correlate with hours of solid productivity. Or perhaps it's that, with fewer hours of sleep, your productivity time is bound to be scattered so liberally across the day that it's unlikely you'll find the five minutes that you're best able to complete a specific task.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
