What’s the buzz?

I did not go see Mel Gibson’s “the passion of the christ.” I had heard enough about it to know that it was something I didn’t really need to experience. Mr Gibson is obviously a very disturbed man, to focus so much on the blood and gore. Not that I believe that understanding Jesus’ [...]

Where I mention porno and Jesus in the same post

Photoshop update

So computer guy thought he HAD installed it. Turned out, there was a smudge on the disk, so while the information was on my laptop, it wasn’t recognized as a program, or something. He fixed it. Now I have photoshop! Let the doctored pictures commence!

********************* Science spoiler rant

OK, this morning [...]

Wholeness

Since I got my poster and committee meeting out of the way, I gave my laptop over to our brand new department computer guy. I was a little nervous, because after all, he is the NEW computer guy. Not the more familiar wonderful previous guy. But new guy is definately earning his keep. He [...]

Light at the end…

I just had my committee meeting. It went well, only a few weirdo off the wall questions. I updated them on my project, proposed some experiments I needed to do to make it all a neatly wrapped up paper, and asked them what I needed to do to be DONE by the end of [...]

Pleasantly surprised

Well, I can’t complain about the pompous people at the conference anymore.

My poster won a prize. I think it’s money. They’re supposed to send it to us later.

No one was more surprised than me!

2 rants and an observation

Regarding day one of the ultra important sciencey conference:

Rant #1 Just because you are the chair of a particular session, does not mean that the rules don’t apply to you. 15 minutes means 15 minutes. That’s 10 minutes of actually giving your talk, followed by 5 minutes of answering question. What about those [...]

Poster child

So did I mention that I’m presenting a poster at a conference here in atlanta this weekend? And that in all the craziness of being sick and getting ready for my committee meeting, I’ve had to come up with a poster from scratch? Well, not from scratch, I stole the figures from my committee [...]
