From the Grave

OK, technically I haven't died yet (that's when I graduate) but just wanted to let people know I'm not completely gone from the face of the Earth.

But, I don't really have time for a full post, so here's some links to some of my better ones in the archives.

End of the World
An Epic Photo Blog
A bit of Mudd Nomenclature

Real post will appear sometime in future.

Recovery Report

Just got back from 24Hr Crack. It was AWESOME. So many games, including a few epic moments. Or, perhaps they seemed more epic due to sleep dep.

I forgot to bring my camera for pictures. Again.

And, since I'll be graduating, I have to wonder who will take over next year.

I sleep now.

Spring Break

Hello denizens of the future.

This is a previously written and stored and posted on Saturday.

Unfortunately, I am not actually here to post it myself. I am sleeping in preparation for 24 Hours of gaming.

Afterwards, I will do more Clinic.

=[

But, hopefully Clinic will get back on schedule.

I also has job interview.

=]]

But, no car.

=[

Someone told me ZipCar would help.

=]

But, ZipCar will cost around 133 for the trip.

=[

But, maybe the company will help reimburse me.

There is no useful post today.

I'll see if I can put up something after my two giant deadlines for Monday are done with. Luckily, MicroPs has a light at the end of the tunnel. Clinic sorta does as well, except I'm not sure if it's the end or an incoming train.

You are eaten by a gru

and by you I mean me and by gru I mean Clinic and MicroPs.

On a quick note, there's a few addendums to some prior posts.

1) Scripps is a woman's college. K-12 girls do not attend a school across the street. And if they did, saying this was a good thing might be misinterpreted as me promoting pedophilia, which I happen to not support.

2) On Nov 1, I made a few statements on diversity. To clarify, I was merely targeting diversity purely for diversity sake. Diversity is overall a very good thing. It's when groups put diversity as a priority over things like general well being or performance that it gets a little hazy. I for one am not an avid fan of affirmative action (AA) since it can actually hurt the people it tries to help. With AA, people tend to second guess if they made it in on merit or simply because there was a quota to fill. On the other hand, disadvantaged groups should get compensation. As I said, it gets hazy, and while I don't love AA, I don't hate it either.

3) 35% of the incoming class came from California. That's right, Cali people are the minority. I'm a minority by home town AND race! wooooo! Now if only that meant more financial aid....

That's all for now. Stay safe and have fun.

*sniff*

It's been a busy week.

Lots of Clinic, lots of MicroPs, a presentation and a paper, and research is still being an enigma.

To top it all off, a cold has been going around the campus. And it looks like due to low sleep levels and off-timed allergy meds, I may have caught it. It hasn't moved into my chest yet, so I might have a chance yet. If it does, I might need antibiotics. =[

So yeah, nothing interesting today. Move along.

Instead, enjoy!



FYI, be careful of sketchy people online.

AND MAGIC!!!!

filler

I'm busy. Clinic + MicroPs + Research + 2 hums = lots of work.

The fact that I still go to Crack in the AC and WarCrack regularly isn't exactly helping. Well, I guess I have an excuse for Crack in the AC since I run the thing.

Quick update, though, I have my MicroPs lab done in record time. 6.5 Hours. Oh yeah. I even have the thing able to take two buttons being pressed at the same time. I'll try to remember to post pictures.

In the meantime, pictures of research! Research testing the chip we made last semester in VLSI. It doesn't work.... =[

What's Important in Life

At least according to Prof. Jacobsen.



In other news, my Clinic will be to make a shiny chip to help speed up cryptography algorithms. Return to the team Michael Braly, adding in an exchange student Julien, and other friend but not on this blog yet Lolly Simoni.

Oh, and Crack starts up today.

Yay for busy school week!

Short Post

GAH! TESTS! VLSI! SUMMER JOB! ONOSES!

By the way, if you have time, read the post archives. I tend to assume that you've read the prior stuff, and I try to refrain from repeating topics, thus if you start to get confused or think I should write about something, check the archives first.

Also, it would be lame if nobody read that stuff.

Yeah, yeah, I'm being kinda lame.

Go read stuff!
