When talking about personality, one must mention Freud.
pictured here with a small cigar.
Yes, even me. (Anyone who knows me knows I'm not a fan)
Despite my personal thoughts about his theory, mad props and respect has to be given to Sigmund Freud for being one of the ...
Yesterday was Pi Day, Today is the Ides of March

One year ago, I was sitting on a carpet in my living room putting the pieces of a World Map puzzle together. The previous Friday, March 13th, started off like any other—daily commute to work—except the constant news on the radio talking about the Ivy Leagues sending their ...
