Happy 4th!

So, I'm taking my last psyc class this summer to get the credit hours over with and our professor suggested this website: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/research/
It's an online psyc experiment being run by Harvard University that is supposed to measure participants' implicit attitudes, or attitudes that we unconciously hold towards certain topics. They have dozens of tests and once you sign up you're randomly assigned to the topics. Measuring your reaction time during the task it's supposed to determine if you associate one topic vs. the other more positively or negatively. For example, my first task was Barack Obama vs. Hilary Clinton but I ended up with no particular preference detected, which I pretty much knew anyhow. It might be different for you though. Check it out and see how you really feel about things!

I also found the best video on the internet last night.


There are now t-shirts for sale of the dramatic chipmunk on the busted tees website. http://www.bustedtees.com/shirt/dramaticchipmunk/male
I think they're hilarious.

I also just heard the new Iron & Wine single, "Boy with a Coin". Check that out too. I really like it.
