The Cornell Note Method has been covered pretty extensively across the internet, but as your “one stop shop” for maximizing (hacking) your college experience, we’re obligated to cover it. Since adopting Cornell notes this semester, processing and reviewing my lecture notes has become a systematized and painless task.
Developped in the 1950’s by Walter Pauk, author of How to Study in College, the Cornell Note Method splits an ordinary piece of paper into 3 sections; notes, main points and summary. As you listen to the lecture, all notes are written under the notes section (duh…). If any main points can be identified right away you may write them in the main points section on the left hand side of the page. When processing your notes, additional main points are added to the main points section and finally a summary of the material covered is added to the bottom of the page.
Give the Cornell Method a shot in the next lecture you attend and post your thoughts in the comment section below.

I’m a fairly busy guy, but who isn’t busy? I try to be responsive but when I get an incredibly long email there is no way I’ll answer quickly. So why send long emails? Here’s a rule: a long email is never necessary. Why am I writing this? How I Use Email I’ve written before about how I ditched email. For reader feedback and comments, I use Twitter.

Due to the dual-processor architecture (a move some attributed to Sony’s looming powerhouse, the PlayStation) optimizing and building games for the platform required a lot of skill with Sega providing developers limited tools for the job. The Saturn did sell well in Japan, but a lack of titles and the promise of Sony and Nintendo’s upcoming consoles meant PAL and North American models were discontinued in 1998 with Japan ceasing production two years later.

Kenji Lopez-Alt] I'm no stranger to In-N-Out, the massively popular California-based fast food burger chain (that is apparently poised to expand East, if only a couple states closer to me—hooray!). The Location: the In-N-Out near Sausalito, just out of San Francisco.The Time: Sunday afternoon, 3 p.m.The Mission: Order and document every single item and option on the menu, public, secret, super-duper-secret. Anybody who's been halfway around the block is aware of In-N-Out's secret menu, which allows you a few custom options other than the regular hamburger, cheeseburger, fries, shakes, and Double-Double that appear on their printed menus. Before I ever set foot in the store, I culled the Internet, eventually stumbling upon the Davis County Wiki, which has a full user-generated page devoted entirely to In-N-Out menu options.

So this visual snark courtesy of ThinkBrilliant (it's a few months old) is directed pretty squarely at publications like ours. We can take it. Like all quality infographics, this effectively conveys relevant information and makes a point—that there are a lot of infographics, or rather, that lots of infographics make lots of general points.

Mom's Pan-fried London Broil Steak Recipe. Method 1 Remove steak from refrigerator 2 hours before cooking to bring to room temperature (only do this with whole cuts of meat, never with ground meat.) Cut away any tough connective tissue on the surface of the steak. Use a meat pounder to even out the thickness of the steak if necessary. 2 Heat a large, cast iron skillet to medium high heat. 3 At this point, if you have a steak only an inch thick or less, you can take the skillet off the heat and just let the steak sit for several minutes in the skillet (tent the steak with aluminum foil). If you have a steak thicker than an inch-thick, you can finish it off in the oven, at 325°F for 15 minutes or so. You want to cook the steak only to medium rare, as cooking it further will make it more tough. 4 Slice the steak thinly, against the grain. Kickstarter Project for Haptica Braille Watch.
