Princeton Productivity

My Internet-free study room in Princeton’s library looks over a foyer with tables that are particularly crowded now that finals are about to start.  On Friday I looked down and saw this guy trying to study for a history class while watching an episode of Scrubs.  I’ve never seen a full episode, so I’m going to withhold judgment on the merits of having Zach Braff as your study buddy…

It reminded me of when I was a senior back in 1999.  AtomFilms and iFilm were just starting to host short films online, so I’d sit in the library and convince myself that, as an aspiring filmmaker, I was actually doing research by watching clip after clip.  Some were so good that I had to drag my friends over to watch.  (Sorry, Dave.)

Ah, shoot, just for old time’s sake, here’s a video you just have to check out.  It’s my favorite commercial of all time.  I don’t think it aired in the U.S.
