Yeah, I know it’s been a while, but I’m back. I think I’ve finally emerged from the existential black hole of the last couple of months (knock on wood), and despite a couple of start-of-the-semester road bumps in the last week, I’m feeling pretty good about my prospects for my last semester of college.
So I [...]
Street art by the British artist Banksy. Lots lots more at his website, drawings and graffiti both.
So in preparation for actually writing my Tibetan paper I’m taking a deep breath of sorts and reading through all my notes and (finally!) transcribed interviews and papers from the semester, and I’ve come to the somewhat distressing conclusion that the first half of what I write for a long paper is utter crap. Maybe [...]
For those of you that haven’t already heard my sob story, I finally succumbed to the disease-ridden food and water of India and came down with a nasty digestive ailment a few days ago. After a day of sleeping, pooping, and occasionally vomiting, I dragged myself down to Delek Tibetan Hospital (the local Western-style [...]
I’m learning LISP for my artificial intelligence class, and it is certainly something of a headache. It’s somewhat slow going, but very interesting and quite a bit different from “normal” programming languages like C or Java. Perhaps the coolest thing is how you can redefine any function you please.

Spring has sprung, finally. Temperatures have been in the mid-seventies for the last few days, and the sun has been out the entire time. I got my hands on a frisbee for the first time in months, in all likelihood literally the longest I’ve ever gone with out touching a frisbee since learning [...]
This was taken at night (allegedly). I am such a sucker for night shots.

Still very much in the throes of the semester, I present here for you a brief diversion: super-magnified pictures of bugs that have met their ends on the windshields of the world’s many automobiles.
More can be seen here, and they apparently are taken by a company called Steger Photo (via Boing Boing).
Oh! Apparently our [...]
Today was wonderful! Act I consisted of sleeping in, taking a loong time to get out of bed, noticing that it was snowing outside (!), having yogurt and homemade granola for breakfast, and playing with the beaurot for a little bit. Then I grabbed some grab’n’go and took off for Jiminy Peak with [...]
