Hilah’s Chick-fil-Gay Sandwich
So I just stumbled upon a fabulous woman who found a way to make the awesome Chick-fil-A sandwiches in her very own little kitchen. It’s Hilah! And she’s awesome.

RIP Bill Zeller
Bill Zeller was a programming student at Princeton who killed himself on Wednesday, January 5, 2011. The note he left behind is being published, in it’s entirety around the innernets, and really, I think people should read it. It speaks of his struggle with the horrors of his youth, the darkness that comes with depression …
