Sometimes it's fun for me to think of some of the most embarassing or strange stories from my younger years. There's something really nice about being able to look back and realize why people found things so funny the first time around. It really shows something about a person if they can look back and really laugh, fully laugh. Nowadays, I try ( Read more... )

I have made a vow, seven more times...

I have made a promise, seven more times...

I have decided on seven more times...

I will believe only seven more times...

What fun I had dancing tonight. I haven't done that in quite a while. What fun I had in listening to standup comedy... haven't done that in quite a while either. I'm surprised I had so many camios from friends, people dropping in and out of my life like a mid-afternoon television sitcom. Writing for me, in these situations, is a reactive ( Read more... )

Thankfully, the submission date for the Mech lab homework has been pushed back a week. I now have more breathing space tonight and tomorrow. I still have to worry about my quiz on Thursday, and I have to go see department advisors tomorrow about the 4-1 program ( Read more... )

Must read St. Augustine's Confessions , though as far as I'm concerned it might as well be called Confessions of an Altar Boy . Altar Boy, Altar Boy, confess your sins to me, you will find the grace of G-d... well we all know Stephen Lynch fairly well. It's basically a giant lie when you consider the political agenda behind its publication, and ( Read more... )

I had a laser safety training session today for our Class IV laser. It's surprising to discover that different wavelengths of light are absorbed, and damage, different parts of they eye. We operate in the infrared, telecommunications wavelengths, so any eye exposure would cause damage to the retna within microseconds. With a femto-second pulse ( Read more... )
