Time Management Fail

Posted in personal, picture on October 15, 2009 | 5 Comments »

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote up a personal mission statement with the hope that it would help me focus my activities.  This was followed a few days later by a meeting with my thesis committee, which, as always, helps me to refocus my research and my career goals.  For the past couple of [...]

Holy. Frakkin. Wow.
So, I attended, no, experienced my very first Dragon*Con. It was on a scale of something that I have never seen before. Tens of thousands of freaks and geeks, many in costume, descended upon downtown Atlanta to laugh, squee, drink, and just be themselves (or whoever they want to be) for a while.

Crowd [...]

Happy (belated) Solstice!

Posted in astronomy, personal, picture, solstice, summer, sun on June 22, 2009 | 2 Comments »

I had a lovely weekend away from the computer (and new iPhone even!) celebrating the beginning of summer.  The solstice occurred at 1:45 am EDT (summer for us in the North, winter in the South!) and is the time in which the sun is the highest in the sky from the Northern hemisphere, thus giving [...]

My Philly-Atlantic City-New York-Poconos Experience

Posted in Galileo, Philadelphia, atheist, fun, penn and teller, personal, picture, skepchicks, skeptic, telescope, travel on June 2, 2009 | 6 Comments »

My webernets presence has been pretty sparse lately, as I’ve been away from home and on the road for almost a week and a half.  And I had a blast! So much so that I’m having trouble readjusting to being home.  So here’s the recap for those who care. (If you don’t give a darn, [...]

Astrophotography contest!

Posted in astronomy, carnival, contest, picture, space, telescope on June 1, 2009 | 4 Comments »

Hey all you starry-eyed shutterbugs out there.  Celestron and Discover magazine are sponsoring an astrophotograpy contest this month.  The rules include a stipulation that the images must be taken through Celestron optics, but other than that, it can be any picture of any astronomical subject matter!  The contest is being judged by Phil Plait, so [...]

Coming up in the next few weeks are my thesis committee meeting, a regional conference for my grant, a bellydance workshop, and a class project to design and guide, and generally trying to keep my project moving!  [...]

Happy Equinox!

Posted in astronomy, picture, science, skeptic on March 20, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Happy Vernal Equinox! It is officially the start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere (autumn for those in Upside-Down-Land).  This is quickly becoming my favorite season in hot, humid Virginia.  So if it’s the equinox, that means we can stand an egg on end at this very moment. Right now!  Here goes…

Ta Da!  Okay, no, [...]

PAPER Trail…

Posted in paper, picture on March 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I keep promising that once I get the time and mental power to write, I’ll post some stuff on PAPER. I think last week’s Green Bank trip would be pretty fun to recount. But I’ve been so busy working, thankfully, that I haven’t been able to muster anything worthwhile. So, here’s a [...]
