I just joined PaperBackSwap and already have a few books that have just been collecting dust that others want. I am getting a few myself. What a great way to create an economy where the currency is books.

Just testing imified to see how easy it is to IM blog entries to the blog. Woot…it works.
This is a pretty cool image I came across at the MODIS Rapid Response site with a snowstorm plowing through Chicago and the associated Lake effect snow fallout in Michigan and northern Indiana. This is the day after the system passed through and the white areas are mostly what was left behind. Pretty cool.
Here is an interesting renewable energy tower idea. It looks interesting.
Great teaching technique where the professor states at the beginning of the semester that he will include a lie in every lecture of the semester. This causes the students to scrutinize and investigate every lecture (and pay attention) in hopes of being the first to catch the lie. Great way to focus attention and develop analytical skills.
Testing google docs. I am just testing to see if google docs will work well for adding posts to the blog….
Let us see…shall we?
Overheard in New York is a great site to add to your feed list. You’ll laugh until your sides hurt at least once per day.
Been using LaTex more lately for end of semester papers. I used it previously, using the beamer class to do a couple presentations in a couple of papers, but I am really learning to like it for paper writing, specifically in the IEEEtran format. It is paper writing for programmers in how you can refer to any object by an item description, but it is really powerful for long convoluted documents. In other words it will be great for the dissertation. As my lab-mate says, “it makes even crappy writing look quite good”.
Been eating these for breakfast for about a month now. I have lost about 20lbs. They fill me up and I am not hungry for most of the rest of the day. If you hate oatmeal, well try these, they’re completely different in texture. It is almost like eating a porridge-like brown rice with a really nice texture. They are great with some walnuts and some maple syrup. Would be good with whatever it is you like on your oatmeal, syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg etc.
