  1. Aaaaah. Nothing starts off a Monday morning appropriately than the last two Alex Blok songs.
  2. I'm beating an old PC into a media serving machine, but getting a few bruises myself in the process.
  3. I heard a GREAT version of the 1st Janacek string quartet on NPR the last night -- I will have to detective the culprits out.
  4. Dancing with a tonne of Biophysicists in Boston. The bio part makes us so much cooler. This would not happen at APS.
  5. In Boston, watching lots of talks about biophysics and mentally preparing to get snowed in by a big March snowstorm.
  6. The first few bars of Beethoven 6 might be the most stunningly anticipatory and beautiful few notes of all time.
  7. Redownloading the Liszt piano transcriptions of Beethoven's symphonies -- the first movement of 6 is the best.
  8. I just finished machining another panel for a laser enclosure on my setup. Now I have machining oil all over myself. Gross.
  9. Last night I dreamed I was telling my parents about a dream, and also that there was absolutely no parking on the upper west side.
  10. Hooray! Done with lab for the day. Now I have to deal with the ice outside.
  11. I was having a bad, experiment not working kind of day until opening a package from Thorlabs and finding UNEXPECTED FREE SNACKS inside!
  12. Spent 2 hours planning our biophysical society annual meeting schedule this morning. It's going to be exhausting.
  13. Some sections of Shostakovich's Execution of Stepan Razin sound like a way cooler version of O Fortuna from Carmina Burana.
  14. Chick peas, tuna, lemon juice, fresh parmesan, olive oil for lunch. Now off to lab for a few hours.
  15. I admire and aspire to the hose nozzle's even determination, and vigor.
  16. @AnnaHill Hi Anna, thanks! There are so many familiar faces on here! It's kind of unnerving that it took me so long to join in.
  17. They upgraded the basement vending machine with pepsi max => twice the caffeine for the same price. Awesome.
  18. I do not like making phonecalls to unfamiliar people first thing in the morning. Especially with a cold. Thank god for menthol lozenges.
  19. Getting blown away, and not in a good way...
  20. @kimpwitman setting up an FTP server?
