So I found a job.
I’m now living in Seattle working for a non-profit called Seattle Biomedical Research Institute. It has certainly been a change to go from the poverty and endless boredom of living in my parents basement to a 40-hour work week in a big-ass city. Naturally, there have been some adjustments.
So anyway, I […]

As a side-effect of being unemployed, I just played a 20+ minute game of Tetris exceeding 375 lines. Shades of King of Kong? I hope not.

Yesterday news reached me that a boy who lived across the street from me growing up had died. I wouldn’t say Kalgin was a close friend, there was an age difference of 5 years (when two people are 11 and 6, respectively, they essentially live on seperate planets) but he was a fascinating (and smart!)

Last summer I talked my sister into getting a Netflix Roku player, she loves it and describes it as “like having free pay-per-view”. Being such a tremendous technology nerd, I couldn’t let my sister have something so awesome and not have one myself… so I asked for and received a Roku for my birthday.
Roku works […]

I got the final Futurama movie, Into the Wild Green Yonder from Netflix yesterday. I enjoyed it and it compares favorably to the previous three direct to DVD movies.
It is obvious that the people working on this show/movies are very talented and truly love what they do. Alas, none of the movies have the same […]

Yesterday I was thrilled to discover that Medford has a stationery store! I love stationery stores! Unfortunately, such stores are a dying breed… caught between the Internet, computers and the big-box likes of Office Depot.
Yesterdays find is a charming little hole-in-the-wall run by two elderly gentlemen, it is dimmly lit, discheveled, with that musty smell […]

Starbase is the name of my current desktop machine. It consists of a 3.2 GHz P4 (HT) on a Intel 865PERL motherboard with 3GB of RAM. This machine can trace its ancestry to the machine I got my freshman year of college…
An 800MHz Gateway Athlon that was most appropriately named VaderĀ was the machine to […]

Job hunting is a lot like golf. Resumes are like a ball hit off of a tee with a satisfying thwack; you have high expectations for them as you watch them sail away. Some of them end up in the tall grass, others get lost in the woods, and a few end up in the […]

While unpacking and sorting the boxes from college I came across Campbell’s “Biology” 5th edition, which was my textbook in AP Biology during my senior year of high school. This book (now in the 8th edition) was a milestone in my life, it along with the AP Biology class were instrumental in my ultimate decision […]
