Short Quips

As a complete accident, I created the word "studebt" earlier today while writing about student loans.

Earth is filled with billions of beautiful and awe-inspiring vistas if you view it from the right perspectives.

I ran a 5k in two-thousand and seventy seconds yesterday.

There's a POD (printing on demand) Shop called BookSurge that I'm considering using for 2076. For a mere $299 (plus $199 for hardcover) they'll print and distribute copies of my book through Amazon after I submit PDFs that conform to their various submission guidelines. I'd get paid 35% of the MSRP listed here for each book they print.

Living Spaces

I'm going to try to articulate the qualities that I think a "home" should have. This is both toe organize my thoughts and because I am coming to the understanding that the small apartment I have in Cambridge is no longer adequate.
In order of importance, these are the things that I'd look for in my next place of residence:

• A Laundry Room
  
• Off-street Parking
  
• A reasonable commute to Cambridge
  
• Proximity to where friends live
  
• Spacious Bedroom with Two Closets
  
• A Kitchen with 10 Cabinets
  
• At least 2 Square Meters of Kitchen Counterspace
  
• Living and Dining Room to Entertain at least 12 Guests
  
• A second bedroom
  
• Less than $2500 per month
  
• A Dishwasher
  
• Central Air/Heat (no A/C units or Baseboard Heating)
  
• A third Bedroom / Officespace
  
• A Foosball Table

Granted, these are all desires and they don't necessarily match up with reality. However, as general guidelines I think this list serves to itemize what I think is important.
