Circa 2010 and Beyond.

I used to think i was on the forefront of web design but that’s false now. I am so circa 2005.

My HTML is dismal and my CSS is best described as ‘trial and error’. This is good news. It means that all throughout university i was learning something else. But I’m kicking my programming fingers into operation this term. Yes thank you Mr. Sumi. Three years of foobar on Visual Basics is finally paying off. Lo and behold, the payoff is dismal though. Oh well. Better than nothing.

Some social science students tend to recoil when it comes to numbers. It’s just numbers! Most of the math that you’ll encounter in an average smoo lifetime (if you didn’t major in QuantFinance, OpsMgmt, Accountancy or Econs) is often solely confined to statistics. Shut up and suck it up, folks. Statistics is your bread and butter if you align yourself with the behavioralists. Even if you lie on the other end of the spectrum (and i really do love and respect ethnography and its kin) understanding the language of math is important! Pay attention to the beginnings of an economic model (not the conclusion) where they state their assumptions. Economists could very well get away with murder. We’re partly to blame for not wanting to understand their language.

All the amazing works out there right now stems from interdisciplinary roots anyways.

No, it’s not good enough to cling to beliefs that Everybody Fails CAT or the like, though it’s likely that most people do fail the subject. So much the better for me!

The attitude for 2010 and beyond changes.

Starting now.
