DUMB Fugit

Interesting. No sooner do classes at Tech start, than some dumb hick in jail for armed robbery busts out of the hospital, kills a security guard and a sheriff's deputy, and closes down the entire campus. 'gotta be terrible for the families. . .

Fair bet the fugitive never sees the inside of a jail cell again. This is, after all, Virginia.

Tempest Fugit

Seems like only a couple weeks ago I was getting ready to graduate from Norwich and looking forward to spending the summer with my family. . . and now I'm at grad school. Wow.

Anyway, classes start tomorrow: Advanced Shear Strength of Soils, Earthquake Engineering, and Foundation Engineering. I'm also TAing Introduction to Geotechnical Engineering (undergrads beware BWAAAHHHHHH). This should be interesting.

In other news, Steorn today announced that they have invented a generator configuration that achieves efficiency over 100%. If they had settled for inventing teleportation or time travel, that might have been believable. Read more here.

More pictures will be coming soon (I hope). Honestly I need to find a simpler way to update mindlabprime; it would get done more often if it wasn't such a hassle.

Why does the past always seem safer?
Maybe because at least we know we made it.
And why do we worry about the future,
When every day will come just the way the Lord ordained it?
