Medical issues for fun and profit.
So now I know where my gallbladder is, as well as my spleen, tonsills and tonsillary lymph nodes. This sort of knowledge turned out to be woefully difficult to instill into my brain in physiology class, but the threat of pain and suffering related to these organs (real or imagined) has greatly eased the learning process for these usually pretty ( Read more... ) -

So, after not talking to Joe, my project supervisor, about my senior project all term, my talk with him to show him what I've done this term so he can give me a grade took about half an hour. But, given how the program worked out, that may be for the best; as it is, he sounded pretty positive about my work. He didn't even particularly mind that I ( Read more... ) -

With the amount that certain non-updaters have been updating, I feel kinda silly for not having updated my own journal in like a month, So here goes.
Term is going along smoothly at least in a work sense, which at Bennington feels like I must be cheating. I have been accused of slacking, but I maintain that if this is so it is institutionally- ( Read more... ) -

Leave it to Bennington to make building a robot even more complicated than it already is. Science students are required to do a senior project-y type thing; great. I'm doing biology and computer science, and want to make something that will look good to grad schools, and there happens to be an artifical-life-like methodology of AI which came ( Read more... )
