Day 89 – Productivity Apps
We read articles like “Top 10 [insert adjective here] Apps” on Digg at least once a week. Well, I decided to out together a list, not because I think I know better what is best, or I am discontented with the few thousand other top 10 articles out there, but because I wanted to put […]

Day 88 – Epiphanies While Writing Papers
Epiphanies in two senses: 1.) I am getting great ideas while digging into the text of Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler to support my arguments. 2.)

I ordered a reverse mount ring adaptor for my 50mm lens, which came in over spring break. Tonight was the first time I had time to try it out. The DOF with it is crazy! I took photos of a bulletin board pin, and when I focused on the point, the other end was entirely […]

Day 84 – Abolish the Postal System’s Monopoly
As I was going through my daily list of blogs that I read, I stumbled upon an article by Jacob Hornberger advocating an end on the postal monopoly. This caught my attention because I argued for the very same thing in my AP Government class in high school. Of course, many of my fellow students […]

Day 82 – Time to Pay the Piper
Short post today. I wanted to put a photo of these nice flowers on my blog to have something nice to look at when I open the page. Right now I am having a severe motivation problem. It is time to pay the piper for doing little work over spring break. I have a decent […]

Day 81 – Back to the Routine
Time to get back to the daily routine of classes and work. Above is a shot of Sam Branchaw strolling down the Alumni Walkway, the path I take to get “up the hill” each morning. I slept in until 10:30 today, which was wonderful. Then, I noticed that the college changed the shower head in […]
