Love: A Garment That Combines My Affection for Hoodies With My Affection for Physics
I missed the Imaginary Shopping Spree boat yesterday because, you know, I'm crazy. But if I had managed to not be stupid-busy-and-super-insomniac-y at the same time, I would have posted these hoodies by the charmingly named t-shirt label Ex-Boyfriend. Who doesn't love a hoodie? They're tomboyish and practical, and these in particular name-check some standard-issue heroes of physics in a beautifully simple and elegant typeface. (Now, if this hoodie was a super-citizen of Nerdsville, it'd mention Ed Witten, Garrett Lisi, Stephen Hawking and Lisa Randall. But I merely quibble here 'cause I'm nerdy about astrophysics...my thesis film has one as the main character!) At any rate, they're super nerdcore, but so am I obviously. They come in both dude and lady versions, which is sweet, and they're kind of perfect in a casual geek chic way.
(By the way, those interested in some kick-ass books on astrophysics would do well to check out Warped Passages: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions by Lisa Randall and Michio Kaku's Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos. Nonreaders can Netflix the whole "Elegant Universe" tv series, hosted by Brian Greene...on par with my bizarre crush on Timothy Geithner, I have a weird crush on Brian Greene.)

Say something so insightful and witty, it will blow us away. (No pressure.)
Got something to say? We'd love to hear it! Name, email and "type in the weirdo drunken text" thingie are all required to comment; don't worry, we won't email you or anything, we just want to make sure you're not an evil spambot. Keeping in mind the good-times mentality we like to keep going here, we've worked hard to keep NOGOODFORME.COM as fun as possible. We welcome all kinds of comments, but insults/abuse/general bitchery are not tolerated. In other words, we put the smackdown on evil troll posts. If you want to be a hater, please go elsewhere. Now, as Salt 'N Pepa say, "Only the sexy people..."
I've been reading NGFM for a while now, and this finally prompted my first comment.
1) I like that those (amazing) hoodies manage to balance both mainstreaminess with nerdiness.
2) A crush on Brian Greene is so not weird: he's a damn cute string theorist. Do you ever see him skulking about Columbia?

actually, erin, once i thought i did spot Brian Greene on campus while i was with friends. i was like, "OMG, I THINK THAT'S BRIAN GREENE!" they were pretty much like, "who?" it made me so sad that no one was there to share in my crushiness, so i'm glad someone out there understands his appeal ;-)
thanks for reading, and thanks for commenting! xo kat

I was looking for something like this. Thanks!
The afternoon saw very active participation of the Open Source community members and the effort put in by the speakers was mind blowing. Attendees all the way from Vijayawada and Solapur came in to attend the event. The atmosphere was so full of energy that even the attendees delivered impromptu talk sessions on the technology or the project of their interest. film izle

Nice shirts. I'd like to have on, too. I admire of them. They were great people. I like to read biographies and often find them at the book search engine http://pdf.rapid4me.com . It is a pity that their work was accepted during their lifetime. In fact, it is a common feature of the scientists.
