Well, I’m jealous.

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

So, I was listening to NPR on the way home today and there was an interesting story about the Library of Congress. They currently have an exhibit with Thomas Jefferson’s library. After the war of 1812 when the British burned down the Congressional Library, Jefferson sold his personal library to Congress. It was, at the [...]

Bonne Année 2008

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

The dawn of a new year and the end of an old one. 2007 had it’s ups and downs just like any other year is expected to have. I graduated from college and am employed. I’ve finally been abroad and on my employer’s dime. Some other stuff happened and then the year ended.
As we all [...]

Math *IS* Hard.

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

I very rarely run into people who are absolutely pathetic at basic math. Last night on the way to a volunteering engagement, I stopped by a coffee shop to get something to tide me over till the event ended. So my total comes to $3.14. I hand the cashier $20 and then I check my [...]

A Beautiful English Summer

Monday, June 25th, 2007

I know I’ve been quite quiet the last few weeks. Since the last time that I wrote anything here I’ve gotten a new job and have been doing my thing for the last few weeks. I’m currently in the UK at a customer site attempting to work on some software that they sort of have [...]

Alternate Realities Courtesy of Google

So, I was curious to see what would happen if I ran my name through Google. I’m sure a lot of people do this from time to time. It is kind of fun to see all the people who exist in the world with your name. There’s a famous soccer player in the U.K. named [...]

Bogged Down

Saturday, March 17th, 2007

I’ve been so bogged down with school work the last few weeks. I’ve been working on my AI project a lot the last few days and that isn’t going quite as well as I had hoped. I had a number of midterms the last few weeks. Those had a few good and bad moments. We’re [...]

Cover letters? I thought that’s what envelopes were for…

Tuesday, February 13th, 2007

After entirely too long I am finally getting started on my job search. I’m trying to figure out how to go about writing a decent cover letter. I’ve written maybe one cover letter, ever, and I don’t think I actually used it at the time. It was mostly to get a little practice. It was [...]

This is why I love the internet

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

It’s great art like this that makes me enjoy the internet. The internet does occasionally have a few redeeming factors.
Update:
It just keeps getting better. Apparently the cavemen from the Geico commercials have a little semi-viral website about them. I think it’s kind of cute in a cenozoic kind of way. You should check it out.
