Nov. 1, 1896 — National Geographic shows a woman with bare breasts for the first time.
I first heard of the 30-day challenge in high school when a friend sent me a short TED Talk video by Matt Cutts. This Google-employed computer scientist had made a habit of trying out a daily challenge for 30 days, from biking to work to taking a photograph each day. Impressed by the adventurous spirit the challenge had cultivated in this self-described “desk-dwelling computer nerd,” I agreed to try several challenges with my friend.

With campaign season come campaign materials, the brightly colored manifestations of our candidates that boil down the issues to a pithy phrase or unflattering picture of an opponent.

Hillary Clinton is a cold-hearted manipulative android designed by focus groups. Bernie Sanders doesn’t own a hairbrush. Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer. Haha. Hilarious. Some real knee-slappers.
To anyone that read my tasteless, needless and generally horrible article on the 1996 murder of Hopkins student Rex T. Chao, I am extremely sorry. Making light of someone’s death in the context of Halloween was an idiotic and insensitive decision. I apologize for making light of a real life tragedy that had such a grave impact on the campus.
