PSA: T Minus One Week to Thanksgiving
Thursday, November 17th, 2011
Today is one week before Thanksgiving in the US. One week is also Beeminder’s akrasia horizon.

Tuesday, June 28th, 2011
This is a friendly reminder about our friendly mass of incandescent gas. For beemindees in the northern hemisphere (i.e., all but one or two of you, I believe), this is a reminder that the days are as long as they are going to get right... »
