In the interest of posting more entries, I've come up with a new concept which is going to keep new material coming on a steady basis while at the same time not requiring too much extra writing. The concept is this: random lists. Doesn't sound like much, but I think it has potential. I can make these lists as I go about my day, and then when they are completed, I can throw them online. I already have 10 or so ideas, and as I fill those, I'll rely on you all to help me with new ones.So, without further ado, the first ever "Quantitatively Nik" list:
