    Case in Point

    The Vanity Project - Wilted Rose


    Here I am freezing in the lab.   Courtesy of our lab camera.  Very high security.  Top Secret!  Or maybe it's Pop Secret.

    ... MMMmm popcorn.

    The Physics of Singing

    Barenaked Ladies - Gordon - Break Your Heart


    When I get stuck in the freezing cold lab for hours at a time, I take my iPod with me.  Without fail, if I am alone, within minutes I am singing along.  It's always loud because of the eleventy-billion servers in such a small acoustic place, but I wonder if the folks in the hallway working away on their science can hear me over the din of the machines. 

    Hmmmm.  Curious.  I could always ask.  :)

    A Jeep Thrill


    This guy has modified his recent vintage Wrangler with a Biodiesel engine.  That is awesome. 

    I'm pretty good at mechanical stuff, but I think I'd just end up destroying my car.

    Public Service Announcement

    Barenaked Ladies - Gordon - Wrap Your Arms around Me

    I am full of wit and wisdom today.  And after my long lunch with one of my French colleagues yesterday, I am bilingual as well.  

    How you should interpret:  Today I can be full of myself in two languages instead of one.

    Detour

    The French Ecole - French For Beginners - French For Beginners - Lesson 1

    Heading to Vermont either next week or the week after.  It's been forever since I visited Canada, and I'm feeling long overdue.  So, I will be taking a day or two trip up to Montreal; it's only an hour and a half drive.  This will be interesting since I am very bad at speaking French.  So, in honor of my adventurous jaunt to French-Canadia (sic), I'm listening to The French Ecole French Lessons.

    I am very, very excited.

    Quel temps fait-il?

    Il fait beau!

    ...Fin.

    Shoulder to Shoulder

    The Vanity Project - The Vanity Project - Wilted Rose

    I separated both of my shoulders playing football.  Thank you, Mammoth-of-a-Man who decided it'd be okay to tank-roll a girl.  By the way, it's two-hand touch

    Anyway, you should see me eat soup.  I want a video of it.  It's like I've impaled my brain right through the motor skills center.

    They shouldn't allow me a soapbox

    But here it is.  The Internet does it again.  Providing resources to someone who clearly shouldn't have them.  Granted, my writing on a cyberwall in the ether will not have the affect, as say, a driver without experience given a Ferrari would.   But eventually someone will waste their time reading this. 

    And in the words of the Principal of Billy Madison's high school during the Academic Decathalon, "What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it...may God have mercy on your soul."

    Yep... That's me.
