3/19    What are some names we call StanfUrd besides The Farm?
        \_ Leland Stanford JUNIOR University (emphasis on the Junior)
           \_ the thing is, it's actually Leland Stanford Jr.'s University,
              not Leland Stanford's Junior University.
              \_ Yeah, we all know this, but we Cal Bears intentionally
                 re-associate the word "Junior" with "University."  You just
                 don't get the joke.  I simply call it "the Junior University",
                 besides calling it Stanfraud and $tanford.
                 \_ I think the person got the joke. S/he was just
                    pointing out a technicality.
        \_ School across the Bay
        \_ Why do we call it the Farm when there is obviously no farms.
           On the other hand, there is the Berkeley Farm. What's up with that?
           \_ Reference to 'degree farm.'
           \_ Plenty of farms in Stanfurd's backyard along Foothill Exwy/
              Sandhill.
           \_ It's the same as why Stanford calls us "weenies" when
              they're red and from animals that live on a Farm.

        \_ advice to UCB fundraiser committee: Ask not how you can
           get more donations. Ask why you are not getting donations.
        \_ why the fuck should i donate to a place that told me my undergrad

12/26   Mail is being retired, but will mail still be forwarded if we have
        a .forward? Also, _why_ is mail being retired?
        \_ one more yreason i only hire stanford grads from now on
           \_ Like you have any real hiring decision power.
        \_ don't recall seeing a discussion on this.  it would be nice if mail
           service remains.

10/5    any UC berkeley students that had successful startups
        in the past 15 years?
        \_ all the Cal grads I know with MBAs are in VC or finance.
           maybe they are just better at risk analysis... starting a company
           is not a great way to make money!
           \_ I'm a Cal grad with an MBA working in Finance (not High Finance).

9/23    I'm in grad school part time, and the professor I was trying to get
        to advise me just sent me "What you suggest (remote, part-time, topic
        formulation) doesn't fit my advising style..."  Does anyone know
        what "topic formulation" might mean in this context?  I come with
        funding from work, but the topics I can choose are somewhat limited.
        Could be a reference to that...
