Two Things I Never Thought I’d See

Not that I had given it that much thought in the past but these are two things I never thought I would see. Firstly, there is an interesting article on the QBT blog regarding the possibility that gravity is “leaking” out from the universe. This of course has some pretty far reaching applications as far [ READ MORE ]

Sunshine Yields Photographs

Today, for the first time in weeks, the sun came out for more than 30 minutes. It was actually a sunny day outside. This rare occurrance led me to bust out the trusty digicam and take loads of photos. Most of them didn’t turn out very well but I included the good ones in this [ READ MORE ]

A Penny A Page

Simply because it is freakin hilarious to show off, my program requires me to create a few academic web pages simply to showcase my work. Check it out here and try not to laugh. On the other hand I did enjoy creating it with NVU and to be honest I am rather pleased with it[ READ MORE ]

Havdalah on the Balcony

Thanks to me seriously excellent parents, I was able to make Havdalah for the first time in over a month. It was awesome in so very many different ways. I can now move on with some piece of mind. So the really good news that I didn’t get to share before Shabbos began was that [ READ MORE ]

Shabbos 2 Shabbos

The Pre-Birthday Blog

I know I haven’t posted in ages. I have been very busy completing my first full week of class and the last one for a good long time. There are so many Jewish Holidays in the month of October and I will be missing something like 5 days of class as a result. Even so, [ READ MORE ]

First Day Of Class

Ok so the afforementioned concert during orientation week (o-week hereafter) was way lame and we all left early. My floor and I have been getting way tight and hanging out together. It seems like we are the only floor on the entire campus that hangs out together. It is very nice to have people to [ READ MORE ]

Moving In

Ok so I’ve officially been at school for over 48 hours now and I’m thinking it’s time to blog some. So the school network is very slow and it seems to block ports so I can’t Skype yet or use IRC but I’m working on it. We did get stuff setup as far as our [ READ MORE ]

Shippin Out Today

I have less than an hour until my train comes to shuttle my and my accompanying family members off to the airport for our flight to Seattle. We will be spending Shabbos there and I will move in to college on sunday. The next time I post, I will be well on my way to [ READ MORE ]
