We’re told so often as academics that our love of the work is compensation for taking a big pay cut from what we’d get in β€˜industry’, but then we all spend so much time doing busy work we don’t love. So ask yourself, did the work you do today compensate you fully for your time?

It's only designed for Chrome, but don't let that stop you from trying it in other browsers: the older, the better! Here it is in Chrome 17, Firefox 3.6, Chrome 9, and (my favorite) Internet Explorer 5.1.7 for Mac.

at visual arts class day, i reflected on the joy i found in princeton the people and place these four years. in contrast, commencement just surfaced my frustration towards princeton the institution and administrationβ€”their indifference and singular focus on self-perpetuation

the point of this project is to demonstrate how "problematic racist labels are circulating inside major training sets." that's definitely a huge problem, and imagenet has not gotten enough attention for this! but who are we demonstrating this to?
