So my first test in econometrics is tomorrow, and so far we haven't covered a single economics topic -- it's all been statistics review. We just wrapped up simple linear regression. STAT 211 is a pre-requisite and I know we covered linear regression. Furthermore, I think we covered linear regression earlier than this. This is a 400-level class ( Read more... )

Greetings all.  Tonight's update will include the following: brief review (that's probably generous) of The Weather Man, new information (not much) on Maredsous kegger, and gin ( Read more... )

Well, looks like Amazon did it again.  Firefly boxed set is only $20.  Needless to say, I just ordered it.  Here it is.

Edit: It has since jumped up to $25.  Thank goodness I snatched it up earlier!  $25 is still a steal though.

Couple quick updates while I should be studying ( Read more... )

So last weekend I was at Sam's Club and stumbled across a Sam Adams sampler pack.  After they teased me with their commercials, boasting something like twenty different beers, I have been waiting for an opportunity to try a few of them.  Fortunately, the sampler pack at Sam's Club, which features 4 bottles of 6 different beers, contained the Black ( Read more... )

So far this econometrics class has been a totally worthless review of statistics for dummies.  One of the questions from our homework begins: "A random sample of 10 students were asked to indicate the number of hours per week that they surf the net."  It then gives the 10 values and asks you to calculate the sample size, n.  Are you fucking kidding ( Read more... )

50% off 'all' Fox TV Seasons?
Firefly isn't there though.  But you can pick up seasons 1 through 4 of Futurama for less than $100!  I'm not sure if I should shell out the $100 now, or not.  So...tempting...  Knowing me, I'll probably make a decision after they return to full price.

Hell yes!  I got Book of the Dead versions of Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 for my birthday from my aunt.

Holy crap. I just saw The Aristocats and it was totally hilarious. My guess is if you think you might like it you will love it. The joke's delivery is completely hilarious every time. It does not get old. At the very least I figured it would not be worth a re-watch. Boy was I wrong. I may need to pick this one up...perfect drinking movie. ( Read more... )

So I finally got my schedule set in concrete (or to where I wouldn't mind it being set...still trying to switch one more thing...). Yeah, I know, I like to wait until the last possible second. Anyhow, I have class from 10:20 until 6:45 on T/TR and none on MWF. I declare this the semester of Woot. Or rather would if I didn't have to work on MWF ( Read more... )
