You start out in the comfort of your living room, with a cavernous empty backpack and all your gear spread out before you. Then, six miles out, you realize: Despite stuffing your pack to the brim, you've forgotten your rain shell and soaked your food in fuel. Here are a few tips to avoid mid-trip debacles and maximize the success of your adventure.

I bought a Moleskine notebook a long time ago, and for a while it got zero use.

My productivity system is totally digital and Web-based, as is my personal journal. I bought the Moleskine because it looked awesome, and because so many other people found it useful. The Moleskine, though, made its way into my pocket or backpack all the time, because of one simple use I found for it: a list manager. Not a list of things to do, or people to call – different lists.

BHAGs. What does 0^0 (zero raised to the zeroth power) equal? Why do mathematicians and high school teachers disagree. Clever student: I know! Now we just plug in x=0, and we see that zero to the zero is one! Cleverer student: No, you’re wrong! You’re not allowed to divide by zero, which you did in the last step. This is how to do it: which is true since anything times 0 is 0.

Cleverest student : That doesn’t work either, because if then is so your third step also involves dividing by zero which isn’t allowed! And see what happens as x>0 gets small. So, since = 1, that means that High School Teacher: Showing that approaches 1 as the positive value x gets arbitrarily close to zero does not prove that . Is undefined. does not have a value. Calculus Teacher: For all , we have Hence, That is, as x gets arbitrarily close to (but remains positive), stays at On the other hand, for real numbers y such that , we have that That is, as y gets arbitrarily close to Therefore, we see that the function has a discontinuity at the point .

But when we approach (0,0) along the line segment with y=0 and x>0 we get Therefore, the value of ! . As . . ? Do Nothing for 2 Minutes. What the fuck should I listen to now?
