Get Undrunk and Open a Tough Jar with Your Half-Naked Dad - HackCollege Season 3, Episode 8

Chris and Kelly cover a myriad of topics this week, everything from sobering up to new iPhone classes at Vanderbilt. They also check in with Mom and Dad on tips on how to open a tough jar.

Topics this week:

• Digital textbooks will be hitting a few campus bookstores shelves this fall.
• Is Facebook contributing to lower grades?
• iPhone classes are catching on around the country.
• Kelly shows you how to sober up after you get back from a party.
• Mom shows you how to deal with a stubborn jar lid.

11 Things You'll Regret Later in Life

Ahhh, Walmart.While the loyal readers of HackCollege are mostly dudes (let's face it), we are curious ones. Every so often when over at a girl's apartment, we may peruse the Cosmo magazines left about the room and scoff and their silly recommendations. College Candy, for those who don't follow it, is something like a HackCollege, except for (mostly) gals who are more social than us. No matter, they've written a great post today with some awesome life tips for anyone.

The post is called "The 11 Things You Do in Your 20's That You'll Regret When You're 40." While HackCollege is all about fun and nerdly debauchery--I think we all have degrees in it--sometimes we need to come back down to Earth or go back to building something that will launch us off of this rock. The post is primarily written for persons of the female persuasion, but there are analogs for guys for all advice given.

Check out the post and peruse College Candy! I'm a huge fan of their "Cosmo Says the Darndest Things" monthly feature. (I may have a girl's name, but I swear I'm not a girl.)

Workshop: Establishing an Online Identity in the Internet Marketplace

Our cute flyer.

Hey Everybody,

So a lot has been up for the past week or two. Chris and I--I believe--have officially hacked college. We'll be teaching a class in online branding and such for film students next spring. Cool stuff!

In the meantime, I'd like to point y'all towards a workshop we're putting on this Friday. We're putting it on to share everything that we've learned doing HackCollege and such over the past few years. If you're not in Los Angeles, worry not! We will be streaming everything online starting at Friday at 1:30 pm PST.

If you would like to see exactly what we'll be talking about, check out the simple site I put together for the workshop: lmuworkshop.com. We'll see you there!

(Oh, and if you do this thing called Facebook, RSVP to the Facebook event!)

Pregame with Us Tonight on UStream!

Rather than release an episode today, we'll be doing a live episode tonight to pregame the Michigan State-North Carolina game (which is the championship game for those living under a rock). So grab a few beers and come join us!

(Note: the campus firewall on LMU doesn't like the UStream chat client, so we'll be hanging out in a Meebo room or just using Twitter. Keep your eyes peeled and we'll let know you where we're hanging out.)

What: NCAA Championship Pregame

When: Tonight (4/6) at 5 pm PST (8 pm EST)
