I’m going to Harvard.
You bastards didn’t like my last post, did you? It’s okay…just another bruise on the ol ego…
On to bigger and better things. Today I began the process of schooling myself on computer science. I am taking a FREE online course offered by Harvard.
I found the 109 minute lecture to be quite engaging even for a nube like myself. Between that one, and the FREE programming lecture that I am reading on Reddit, I’ll be on my way to computer literacy in no time. Go ahead, Mickey, start firing off the insults…I can take it.
These courses are all part of the Phd in Freeganism that I am working towards. I am beginning to realize that I can achieve this through legitimate institutions, rather than just reading Wikipedia.
My goal in life now is to do everything that Jared does except way better. Jared tried to teach me the ins and outs of bicycle repair. His words fell upon dead ears for a long time. Then I finally wanted to learn. I got a job in a place that taught me everything and gave me my own work station. Now, Jared asks me to true his wheels.
For your viewing pleasure, here is an old photo of Jared in ultra-nerd mode:
I am hoping that eventually I can apply this same one upping strategy to computers. Jared won’t even know what hit him.

no one noticed that it’s jared in the photo?
it is?
don’t even pretend like you read this blog anymore.
Lauren, normally I would rip on you for this, but my new boss is a woman.
So success in a technical field is possible.
The real question, is do you really want to learn this stuff for any reason other than to spite Jared? Vengeance is rarely a great path to success.
i am just bored and want to learn something new….and since i’m always having to hear about all jared’s computer shit anyways, i figure i might as well join the party so i can actually grasp what he is talking about.
What do you mean, “My bike is crap.”? What about your custom build? Or don’t you ride that in town? Won’t Jared let you ride one of the cool bikes he liberated while you were in Tucson? It’s easy to dismiss your geographical based depression, but you not having a bike to ride that you like is even bumming me out.
hey tom. the custom is way too nice to expose to the potholed filthy streets of chicago. i ride an old cannondale with a worn out headset that needs to be replaced. it’s not that bad of a bike, but i wouldn’t want to take it on a really long ride.
Well then your going to Sh*t a brick. MIT gives away there educations with free courses.

Yep another stone in the palace of awesomeness you have for everyone to see.
hey thanks a billion BB!!!
it’s definitely going to be incorporated into my freegan education plan.
Then what? So u surpass Jared in skillz and become a most dignified multi-talented success story. I say you start training for the women’s little five that takes place on I think the 23rd of April. That’s gives you about five weeks exactly by my calender. Quit your job, eat fresh roadkill and biscuits on yer way to beating the italians. That would be better than Jared, right? I will mail you high grade biscuit mix if it will make a diff.
sorry ryder you lost me. what is the women’s title 5?
i am discouraged from riding around chicago because my options here are city riding or the lakefront path…and my bike is crap too.

It could be you this year Laren.
oh dang!
