This is the part of my webpage where everything that doesn't neatly fit into one of the other categories in the menu gets routed to. In time, there should be lots of wonderful content here, including a lot about information, one of my favourite hobbies: information retrevial in libraries, tips searching the web, musings about the information age, its main currents, and their intermingling, as well as some trivia. I also plan to post content about fountain pens, particularly OMAS pens, penguins, fencing, some random editorial musings, several random film reviews, and a slew of book reviews and suggestions. There might even be some true miscellany that defies classification. In the meantime, there are a few interesting objects of miscellany already here. First, a collection of take-out menus from many Harvard Square area restaurants. I hope that fellow Cambridge residents, as well as late-night laboratory workers find this helpful! Some might find this page helpful in unlocking the secrets of unixor at least some useful commands in the tcsh shell, at any rate! Some time ago, in the pages of an obscure little volume from Widener library, I happened across a beautiful little essay by Bill Perry, then director of the Bureau of Study Council at Harvard. When Professor Tony Oettinger handed out a copy of this essay in class one day, I was inspired to bring these nuggets of wisdom to a wider audience. So I give you Examsmanship and the Liberal Arts, for the first time published on the web. Although there used to be several places on the Harvard website that contained a succinct listing of the websites for the undergraduate houses, the content has long since grown out of date. So I've compiled my own list of house websites along with links to the resource booklets, and, where available, facebooks and e-mail list archives. I've also made a page regarding Mathematica, a software package from Wolfram Research, that has some recommended books, beginner's tutorials, and general pontifications about a computer program and programming language that I love very much! |
