The New York Times has an article and slideshow about people doing research in pure math. The picture of the guy writing on the chalkboard: I’m pretty sure he’s diagraming the lattice structure of mappings between fields. Hella tight.
This is the first Web site I made at my new job at Web Services for the […]

I’ve been moving into the new apartment, which is looking hella tight. I still need to get a bed though. Hmm, let’s get on that Aaron. I got a Bluetooth adapter for my ‘puter, so when I get Internet there, I can post all the crazy-go-nuts pictures I take with my camera-phone.
I got a job […]

Lance says, “Whenever I am feeling sad and forlorn, all I need to do is look at a cat in a sheep costume.”

After a marathon day at the Regenstein Tuesday, in which I read about 300 pages, I am incredibly sick. I woke up at 5 a.m. because my throat hurt so badly.
So, two final exams down, two exams and a paper left to go. I’m kind of regretting taking four difficult classes this quarter. In fact, […]

Today I’ve been more productive than any other day this year. Final exams are a bitch. Two people ran in to me at the library and asked if I would study with them. Apparently people are under the impression that I’m on the ball of exam prepardness. This is an illusion.
To people who are done […]

The computer lab is completely full right now, which is kind of expected since it’s the day before finals week. A quick recon reveals that half the users are writing papers. The other half are reading The New York Times online and listening to music.
I have also seen two students with mullets.

Margaret says, “Sometimes I wish I were at a normal school. Other times, I’m like, ‘Word, a soda-can llama.’”

Last night I went to the quarterly Chicago Maroon Boom Crash party! After the party, I couldn’t get in to my apartment since Margaret had my keys! So I crashed on Andy, Ben, and Mike’s spare futon! That shit is comfortable! And about two feet away from the futon is an old-skool Nintendo! So I […]

Among my extended circle of Chicago weblogging friends, there have been a couple incidents recently in which a weblogger posts strong feelings in the heat of the moment, people get offended, and the weblogger sheepishly retracts the post.
I think this sort of retroactive self-censorship is a double-edged sword that should be wielded more lightly. On […]

Right now I’m listening to “Steven’s Last Night in Town” by Ben Folds Five. This song is hella catchy. Props to Berg for reintroducing me to them.
I made this sweet mix CD just for the gym. It’s about half an hour long, because that’s how long I do cardio on the elliptical machines, and then […]

Baseball is the theme of the hour, as Chicago’s cherished Sammy Sosa is caught using a corked bat. I should mention that I don’t really follow baseball, or any professional sport, but I have several friends who are crazy go nuts for the pastime (and more friends without weblogs).
So, they showed lots of footage on […]

Friday afternoon I played on Mike’s XBox for like 6 hours. That night I went to Willa’s party. I had a good time, and it was “liberating”. Enough said.
I ended up playing Wolfenstein – Enemy Territory most of Saturday afternoon. It’s been a videogame-filled weekend, as opposed to the lots-of-studying-and-paper-writing weekend that I had planned.
Saturday […]
