  • 9:32 pm - Move Over Pandora, Hello Grooveshark

    I’ve been a long time fan of Pandora, an automated music recommendation and Internet radio service. Users enter a song or artist that they like, and Pandora responds by playing similiar music. The recommendations come from the Music Genome Project, a complex mathematical algorithm to organize songs using more than 400 attributes. You can give [...]

  • 3:04 pm - Gut Busting Birthday Burrito

    Gut Busting Birthday Burrito Every Friday my co-workers and I go to Chipotle for lunch. Today the guy who asked for my order was particularly chatty so I mentioned it was my birthday after being prodded by my co-worker. He said he would take care of me and ended up giving me two extra helpings of steak in my burrito. On top of that my meal was on the house as was hers. Needless to say, finishing this swollen sack of rice, meat and cheese was a little bit more challenging than most Chipotle outtings but I managed to cram it all down while only making a slight mess. Morale of the story: Don't eat breakfast and go eat lunch at Chipotle while mentioning it's your special day. If the guy serving you is nice it just might be free and filled to the brim with goodness.

  • 5:06 pm - Cookie Monster Cupcake Surprise

    Cookie Monster Cupcake Surprise Kristina managed to bake these cookie monster cupcakes and homemade Hershey kisses for my coworkers and I without me even knowing. She even drove me in to work this morning so she could secretly hand off the goods. I even got a fake meeting request, which I fell for, luring me in for the surprise. After a hectic week prepping for the launch of Best Graduate Schools, this was a welcomed surprise.

    P.S. My birthday is really tomorrow, the 24th, for those keeping track.

  • 12:48 pm - Coding While Wearing A Grad Cap

    Coding While Wearing A Grad Cap Today is the launch day of America's Best Graduate Schools. I decided to wear my mortar board while I work on it this week until it launches. The cap has been a big hit at meetings and around the office. This is probably the smoothest rankings project I have ever worked on here at U.S News & World Report. Be sure to check out www.usnews.com/grad later on this evening to see the new grad school rankings that I've been busy with.

    Burrito Eating Mallard Some officemates and I decided to enjoy our burritos outside due to the nice weather. This duck waddled up to us without hesitation so one of my co-workers gave it her leftover burrito bits. Note the guacamole all over its beak.
