Read these, in this order. Love this type of talk: http://bit.ly/8X9uDG, http://bit.ly/9yBFlf, http://bit.ly/aWcPFW (via @ezraklein @cdixon) I very clearly remember going to my Goldman Sachs interview, winter of Junior year, and thinking to myself, wow I could not have less interest in investment banking if I tried.

On Friday I spent a couple of hours going through some arduous and eventually ineffectual sets of instructions for tethering the iPhone to a laptop. Today I discovered that there is an automatic tool called Spirit, which was just released within the week. I hereby share it with other iPhone users who want to jailbreak. Find it here.
