Time Management Fail

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.

Happy Equinox!

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.

PAPER Trail…

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 [...]
