I went to the last football game of the season last night. I went because it wasn’t just any last football game, it was DeRon Brown’s last football game. I was drawn to it as if it were the last solar eclipse of the century.

Hey MIT folks: Let's push for reform of the credit card industry and the criminal charges they're heaping on average Americans that's killing the economy, small business, and entrepreneurial activity, rather than slapping ourselves on the back for ringing a bell!

Lauren McCarthy ’08 wants people to smile. Seriously. And she has just the tool—the Happiness Hat, a wearable conditioning device that encourages smiling through pain feedback. Kind of like a torture device with a heart.

Any measures to deliberately cool the planet should be used with extreme caution--remember James Gleick's White Earth scenario in Chaos.

A dashboard robot with expressive cartoon eyes now in the works at MIT may someday help you avoid traffic jams, remind you to pick up the milk, and help you have a great night out. This Affective Intelligent Driving Agent (AIDA) will do that by learning from your expressions and your driving habits.

Conducting research with faculty may be a given for current MIT undergraduates, but it was revolutionary when it was introduced at MIT 40 years ago. Today 85 percent of graduating seniors have participated in the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) |Leave a Comment

UROP and pass-fail grading was part of my freshman year in 1969-70 and it was really an influential idea and part of my makeup against orthodox teaching techniques. It emphasized direct apprenticeship learning with the best faculty. TWH11022009

Theses are definitely MIT Whizz- WITches! No Zombies allowed bec they like to eat good brains. I believe that they have taken measures to terminate them on sight with the super strobe lights from Doc Edgerton's Old Lab. It seems that the MIT Whizz-WIZards were wiped out too or else they are travelling FTL fleeing the Whiz-withches! LOL

The "Brotha" problem doesn't reside with MIT - it resides within the Black community itself. No other racial group in this country drags down its own top students and accuses them of selling out to "the Man". Not Indians, Asians, Muslims, Jews, Scandinavians or Aleutian Eskimos. What are you doing, Ronald, to help Black communities actively support more Black students at MIT?
