Nobody cares, but...
...Joe Breeze is speaking at College Park city hall Friday at 7. He's, arguably, the inventor of the mountain bike (he is to MTBs what the Vikings were to America - all the work, none of the credit) and is currently the most vocal, intelligent, and well reasoned advocates of bicycle commuting. He can be a little naively utopian, but hey, someone has to.
I know you guys could give a damn about two wheeled travel, but this is big stuff. It's for sure way cooler than Roy's visiting statistican from a few months ago, at least College Park Bikes - next to 7-11 on Knox - is having a party afterward with "refreshments." Eat it, MathBoy, bikes are so much cooler than standard deviations.
Posted by Chris at March 3, 2004 05:58 PMThe visiting statistician from a a few months ago is coming back! Apparently, hurricane isabel has not deterred him from our fine university. Indeed, he'll be back on as part of a group of lectures April 20th. His talk will be on whether or not statistics has a future. Here's hoping the answer is yes...
In case the Nerd Alert voting gets pushed too far down, I'd like to implore everyone who visits this site to vote for Roy as the site's number one nerd. It seems he has made winning this competition his life's goal, and I fear there will be no peace here in Apartment 302 until he wins. At least, the pictures of Roy with "Vote Roy, World's Biggest Nerd" written across them can finally be removed from the walls and windows of our apartment.
I beg of you, please vote for Roy.
