Things to do in Seoul?

nile_red — Sat, 03 May 2008 23:41:09 -0800

What to do with 10 days in Seoul? I've read the previous posts (for shorter trips), and basically, I was just wondering if you guys knew of any must-sees to tackle in my 10 day trip, bearing in mind I have a little more time.

Help me remember a physics website.

Help me find an interesting website I've forgotten the name of. There was a website a while back that had masses and springs and you could create 'animals' or machines that would move but also make interesting sounds. I can't remember the name of it, and I want to use it in a physics course.

Starkville, MS to Yellowstone.

I'm planning a road trip to Yellowstone NP from Starkville, MS. Tips, suggestions of roads to take and places to stop, stay, eat, and see (we're tent camping, and we're talking spring break one year from now), we'll be in my 2006 Sentra. I've checked the archives, and read the Must See at Yellowstone NP and Tent camping for newbies. I'm just sure there are things I haven't thought of yet. We'll have four college seniors going one year from now, with tents, money, and an atlas. Only two of us have experience tent camping, and for my part that's always been with more experienced family.

Greek-English Old Testament

Help me find an interlinear NIV Greek-English Old Testament. I've been looking all over, trying to find such a thing. I can find exactly what I want, only it's entirely contained in websites, and the book I need is for a gift, and giving someone HTML just seems cheap. I've found interlinear Hebrew-English Old Testament NIV and Interlinear Greek-English New Testament NIV but, so far only websites and no books for the Greek-English Old Testament. Money is (almost) no object, Amazon and Google have failed me : (

What philosophies of personal identity are out there?

What philosophies of personal identity are out there? I just got done re-watching Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, and I'm curious, but a google search gives me a bunch of product, two hits and then a game. I wanna know what philosophers and what of their works I should go get at the library and read.

Help me cite a reference.

Help me with citing a reference. I need to cite a reference that references someone else, and I don't have the original published work to go pull the information from. Here's the bit I'm using: "[T]he Bengal fan…is largely cut off from its supply of sediment and…the modern river sediments are trapped on the Bengal shelf as a result of the Holocene transgression (Curray and Moore, 1974; Curray et al., 1982; Emmel and Curray, 1985)."

However this is coming from an article in Issue 12 of Geology Magazine from 1989. Do I cite the author of the article in Geology, or do I find the author's reference and cite the original 1974 reference?

Help me find new music?

nile_red — Mon, 10 Oct 2005 11:11:37 -0800

Help me find new music? I'm looking for suggestions on new-to-me music that falls in a range from bluesy to rock, heavy on the blues side, a mix of songs that the white stripes' ball and biscuit would fit in with. I'm looking mostly for new-ish stuff, but older songs are awesome too.

Help me dye my headphones black.

nile_red — Thu, 15 Sep 2005 11:13:35 -0800

Is there a good way to dye my iPod earbuds black? I have a black nano, and I love it, but I hate having these white earphones and other cords that don't match....it feels so much less sleek....I thought about plastic dye of some sort, but it's two different kinds of plastic, so I thought maybe one of you had tried it...

Help me find a fifties font.

nile_red — Tue, 23 Aug 2005 20:28:10 -0800

I need a few good fonts for various props in a 1956 play. Does anyone know of a list of several 1950's fonts? I need a sign, window lettering, and I'd like the program to have a fifties feel as well.

Help me find a book.

I'm looking for a good book on Japanese points of view on WWII. NPR keeps bringing it up, and I'd like to broaden my knowledge. Any tips?
