		<description><![CDATA[We all have heard about this so called global warming. Apparently it&#8217;s true. Scientifically a fact. But it doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean we need to cut back our gas guzzling ways or make the government invest in alternative energy. Why not? Peak oil theory. The United States used to dominate the world market for oil (and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I read a paper recently on the economics of the QWERTY keyboard. No, it&#8217;s not about how keyboards are priced &#8211; economics isn&#8217;t limited to just the study of money &#8211; it&#8217;s the study of the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. Basically the paper is about how we ended up with the [...]]]></description>

We provide a depth of learning that is not available anywhere else by pairing mentors to work 1-on-1 with young students with a long term focus.

		<description><![CDATA[I was never the student that actually completed the readings before lecture. It was always way too many pages and there were better things to do with my time like playing soccer in the hallway. I am now that student. This quarter I am taking Stanford&#8217;s CS183. The title of the course is &#8220;Startup&#8221;, which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The most shocking thing about New Zealand is how few people there are here. I hail from California, where millions of people pack in, battle gridlock traffic, try to ignore the smog, and pay a premium to do so. So you would expect a land even more beautiful than California with comparable infrastructure would be [...]]]></description>

Flashback to 2008 &#8230; Michael Phelps won in the most exciting finish ever, Barack Obama became president, and I graduated from college.

		<description><![CDATA[Freediving is some pretty gnarly stuff. Basically you hold your breath, swim as deep as you can, and then swim back up to the surface. Simple right? Well the best in the world go 300 feet down and come back up four minutes later. If that&#8217;s not super-human I don&#8217;t know what is. Here is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most of us growing up in the Unites States have learned that hitchhiking is dangerous. Don&#8217;t attempt it and certainly don&#8217;t pick up someone on the side of the road with their thumb out. There is a pretty good Freakonomic radio podcast with some insights into why we all share this belief. But now that [...]]]></description>
