I started studying for the Physics GRE today. My test is on November 8th, I know I should have started sooner. It sort of snuck up on me.
I don’t know how most people would start studying. Maybe looking over notes for the past years or reviewing a lower division general physics textbook. Or internet resources. [...]

I crashed my bike on the way back from lab tonight. The first bike accident this year that resulted in bleeding, bent handle bars and a distrust of patches of dark on the road.
I doubt it will be the last.
I don’t have much else to say today as I have a lot of homework to [...]

And even get paid [...]

Last night I went to free advance screening of the movie Repo: The Genetic Opera. I had no idea what to expect, if face it was not until I looked it up on wikipedia that I knew it was a musical. I just assumed that Genetic Opera was a neat title. Turns out that the [...]
Aperture Review Part Five (Final)

In the end I don’t think I am ready to use Aperture full time. While there are some features in it that I would love to have on a daily basis I am hampered by performance. On my Powerbook G4 it does not run as smoothly as iPhoto 7, if I had a newer computer [...]
