Non-news

My poor corner of the Internet has been neglected ever since I got back from Texas. I'm sorry, little corner. I've been busy, but I'll try to treat you better, I promise.


Some things that I've done recently:

1) I became a grad student. I get to teach* a class** and do research. They pay me for this***?!?

2) ...I'm pretty sure that's all I've done.

3) I started (...need to start...) memorizing 1 Timothy. Apparently, my Bible study is going to be hard core like that. At least I get to take some time doing it...

4) I drew a picture (ok, it's a graph; it has about 3 lines. I have low standards.). Unfortunately, my scanner isn't hooked up, so I will have to post it at some later date.

5) I cleaned out my email. I now have just 700 500 (I got distracted when I started writing this...) emails in my inbox. I'm sure you don't care at all, tiny little corner, but this is very exciting to me.


On a completely unrelated note, there was some cool stuff in the "news" (= things I read online) today:

1) Some apparently-very-smart scientists may have found some particles that are faster than light. That's very fast.

2) Strange but true (apparently): some people at UC Berkley can reconstruct YouTube videos from brain waves (kind of).

3) Super-cool timelapse photography of the northern lights from the Space Station.

At some point, perhaps I will write about more exciting things.

Probably not, though.

*For some definition of the word "teach".
** If you are in my class and reading this: you don't have better things to do? That's sad.
*** Yes, they do. Although, if they paid me more, I wouldn't complain.
