As much as I enjoy public service, these people enjoy it even more. I’m not kidding. They don’t have powers, but they raise money for charity, build awareness and sometimes break up fights. Gov 2.0 should look at their passion when it comes to delivering better services to citizens. See and download the full galleryRead… Read more »
Okay, I’m a nerd. But a confident nerd. Because of that, I don’t mind tell you that I am who I am because of Star Wars. A Long Time Ago… It started when my oldest brother showed me Star Wars: A New Hope. I was hooked. Now I really like epic stories and mythology. However,Read… Read more »
I just read an article that featured memory competitions. For example, at the USA Memory Championship, participants compete in 10 events. One event involves memorizing random digits in a short time and repeating as many as possible. Another is memorizing the order of a card deck and repeating it as fast as possible.

Now he’s in 11th grade, and apparently his tool works with awesome accuracy. Do you see where I’m going with this? OPM should contract for his algorithm and configureRead… Read more »

I’m happy with passing…as is everyone else. That’s because this class is ridiculously hard and its pass/fail. There is no honors program for CON 90, only those that pass and fail at the 80% line.
