knick/knack

I'm Molly, an aspiring interaction designer with a penchant for art, animation, typography, and baby animals.

knick/knack is my own little corner of the internet, where I stash all the cool, funny, interesting, artsy, and useful things I find.

Daniel’s post, which linked to a Ben Folds video where he improvs about one of the Harvard houses, reminded me of this gem.

This is Common freestyling at/about NU a couple years back—he pulled a couple students aside 5 minutes before he went on and asked them to tell him everything they could about campus.  This is the result.  I figured it was appropriate on the eve of my last undergraduate class.
