Sorry for the absence as of late; school has been sucking up my life for the most part (I've got just a few weeks until the first draft of my senior portfolio is due, and my senior reading is on the 9th of December--eek ( Read more... )

It's been getting colder here at Wilson, this week notwithstanding, which means that things have been slowing down quite a lot in the bike shop. People don't want to go around crashing or breaking their bikes nearly as much when riding becomes less pleasant. This means that I have a lot of spare time in the shop to work on crazy projects (or, you ( Read more... )

I have a scar on my right index finger from my freshman year, when my knife kinda folded onto the finger. It was a stupid accident. I didn't get it stitched or anything, but it healed up just fine, though it's sometimes a bit tender. Anyhow, the weather's been changing the last few days, and all of a sudden, my finger is achy around the scar. ( Read more... )

The bike shop is super backed up today. It usually gets a bit packed on Friday, but this is just getting silly. A professor came in today with a flat tire and asked whether we were backed up and if he would be able to get his bike back in the afternoon. I kinda wanted to get flippant with him; I can't walk two feet without almost tripping over a ( Read more... )

Because I can be so very--ah, what is the word? Shit! No, I have it! Articulate! That's the word! (True facts, I actually couldn't think of the word, and not having Elizabeth, or anyone else around, I was stuck for half a minute, unable to continue ( Read more... )

Well, I've gotten through my first week of classes back at Wilson, and things are already threatening to get a bit crazy. Needless to say, I've got a fuck-ton to do in the next sixteen weeks (including fall break). I'm doing my senior portfolio this semester, a 2-credit course that takes as much work as a 4- or 6-credit course, but which only ( Read more... )

The annual "This is what our mailing lists are" message from Computing Services today, I found this gem. I doubt that it will make any sense to non-Wilsonites, but I wanted to share it somewhere ( Read more... )

I got back from Oakland on Friday, feeling super-tired from only getting about four hours of sleep the night before, thanks to an early-morning flight home. I love Philly, and I love being home, but I kinda wish I could have just stayed in Oakland until school started and then just show up at Wilson and have all my stuff and my car already there ( Read more... )

Hey y'all,
I'm leaving for Oakland on Monday, and won't be back for about two weeks. After that it's only a week until school starts. Keep the internet safe while I'm gone, okay?

According to the interwebs, the only reason that we're developing household robots is so that they can fetch you beer.

Then again, on a hot day like today, I wouldn't mind if I could have a cold beer without having to get it myself.
