Looks like the Olympics have come to an end for another four years. As always, it was neat being able to watch the athletes in international competition at the height of many of their careers. These two weeks have made for some pleasantly different TV watching in the evening ( Read more... )

Never would I have imagined that I’d spend half an hour today trying to get rid of a spider at work.

As I was sitting around this morning working my way through some of the paperwork that had accumulated overnight, I happened to notice a bit of movement out of the corner of my ( Read more... )

It occurred to me today that I haven’t introduced the work I’ve been doing for the past month or so now to my blog. As irrational as it is, I realized today that this fact has kept me from posting some stuff here, since the blog wouldn’t have the right context. In the ( Read more... )

It is finished. I walked tonight. It was pretty awesome actually getting there and doing that. The prelude sucked.

So, ok, the pre-prelude was actually pretty awesome. I get there and there are a bunch of us hanging around. I spot Kara sitting up by Sumaru and decide to go ( Read more... )

Probably getting to be about time that I updated this silly thing, given that my last entry is something like a month old now. This time, at least, the reason isn’t that I haven’t had anything to write about. Indeed, quite the opposite, April was a very busy month. I feel ( Read more... )

It’s not often I get to randomly happen across a peace demonstration, but that’s exactly what happened to me today. After my 4pm class ended, I wandered up to Grand River to get something to eat for dinner while I waited for a team meeting in the library at 7. As I approached ( Read more... )

Seems I’m slightly behind on my news. Although I was vaguely aware that there was ongoing litigation regarding the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative, the whole thing has been an issue that has largely dropped outside of my perception. It seems it’s back in the news again as U. ( Read more... )
