Random notes by Matt McGann '00
A little bit of this, a little bit of that.
A few random notes:
- Thanks for all the mini-contest entries! I’ll be reading them this week and posting some of them next week.
- Good news for Heroes fans at MIT: Masi Oka, who plays the lovable and awesome Hiro Nakamura on the NBC series Heroes, has signed on to the film 21, a movie adaptation of the book about the MIT Blackjack Team. Kevin Spacey is producing and is rumored to also be in the film.
- I don’t know if you caught it in all the pre-deadline craziness, but a recent entry by Melis entitles Everybody Loves A Math Joke is now the most popular post ever on the MIT blogs, thanks in part to its posting on digg.com, where it received more than 2000 diggs (!).
- Two items from New Jersey: 1. Jun Choi ’94 was elected mayor of Edison; 2. Michael Rodburg ’68 has been named Chairman of the American Conference on Diversity.
- I’ll be answering more questions hopefully next week.
- Finally today (as you may have read in JKim’s blog), the inventor of instant Ramen noodles died last week. Momofuku Ando was 96 years old. Instant noodles have become a staple of life for many college students. Piled Higher and Deeper memorialized Ando in the comic below.
1st post! =)
I don’t think Momofuku Ando invented ramen noodles, ramen noodles was invented quiet a long time ago in China and Japan, I think.
Peter, you’re right; I neglected the word “instant.”
yay new jersey!
HIRO IS MY FAVORIIIITE!!!
Seiously Masi Oka is my favorite actor at the moment,and HEROES(every letter deserves to be a capital one) rules! That is awesome news
Matt: Where did you forget “instant?” I see it twice in your post… I love ramen noodles. You have given me an urge to eat Top Ramen. MMMMMMM. yay Seattle-ish, btw. Where it is again windy. And school’s power was off for a few minutes.
