Public Pledges

The world changes one person at a time. And it's time for We The People to get busy. But unlike our New Year's resolutions -- which are secret and rarely last a week -- we're going public with our pledges. Those who don't fulfill their pledge will be stripped and flogged with spaghetti. (Unless they'd enjoy that, in which case we'll think of something else.) Email me your pledge (nbrown@math.psu.edu) and I'll add it to the list.
