- I guess waking up at 4am is closer to being on a "normal" schedule… #
- Mmm. French toast made with English muffins. Is that culturally insensitive, or does the maple syrup from Quebec make it okay? #
- getting occasional random ~10 second hangs in just about all apps under #snowleopard Annoying! #
- I find the fact that we still nominally celebrate Labor Day in this country somehow darkly comic, or ironic, or something. #
- Holland has about the same population and land area as LA+Ventura+San Diego+Orange County. If only we had their bikes and healthcare. #
- WTF? I'm at Caltech and I can't read old Icarus articles online. I hate the scientific publishing industry with an unhealthy passion. #
- Amazing how tiring getting up at 4am is… #
- The last day of a long weekend is apparently not the best time to get dumpster bread. Too much accumulated garbage obscuring the quarry. #
- Don't you think you're playing God? Oh, I'm not playing. -Craig Venter Synthetic Biology Masters Class w/ George Church http://bit.ly/Knh3T #
- I think I'm losing weight as my thesis gains it. That's probably not terribly healthy. #
- I hate getting gigantic e-mails that have been hopelessly garbled by an ancient version of some GUI e-mail client. #
- Reading a review of the work in my field, it sometimes feels unclear whether it's even worth the effort to tell them they're wrong. #
- It's 2:30am, does anybody know where my Michelle is? #
- Well I can only hope that the mystery sleepover isn't happening in a medical facility. #
- gall dernit, I still ain't registrated! #
- Well that was exhausting. Even if I hadn't been up since 2:30am. #
- Can't find a good full-screen slideshow for new @HubbleTelescope pix. They should set up a @flickr acct. or mediarss feed. #
- I'm on the verge of being genuinely creeped out by the preternatural relevance of the webcomics I follow. Telepathy will only make it worse #
- Ah, mobile phones and cars. Thankfully nobody was seriously injured, and I got to see an urban geyser. http://bit.ly/bu5Tk #
- I wonder if Apple lets artists pay to get played more frequently in the iTunes Genius mixes and playlists? #
- Back of the envelope: ~50 m^3 of water was wasted by that broken hydrant = ~8 lbs beef = 1 BBQ <= last night's dumpster diving haul. #
- Outlined data structures for geographic superposition networks, now on to pseudocode algorithm for DAG enforcement, & stratigraphic sorting. #
- Wikipedia has improved dramatically since I last worked on graph theory. #
- Seems absurd that it took all day to write 15 lines of code, but using osgeo and networkx I can now take a map and turn it into a graph. #
- It's a sad morning inbox that contains nothing but a bunch of notifications of backups, successfully completed. At least my data loves me. #
- Why on Earth do all of the geographic processing libraries act like the world is flat? I am so tired of hacking in Euclidean space! #
