Also, here's a funny Dilbert:

Cool things I've come across in the past few weeks:

Haven't updated in two weeks.  My apologies, if anyone cares.  There is lots of news.  I moved to a new apartment, it's really nice.  Pictures will be up at some point.  Yelena and I are still unpacking.  If you want to know more, give me a call.

There's also work-related news; that will go in a password-protected post, as usual.

I also have a bunch of random crap I've been saving to show everyone; that will also go in a separate post.

I checked this out and it's real. FYI for anyone who is going to work in an office (it doesn't work at home).

Thanks to Sam Belkin for the original warning (see below).

This is a conversation I've been having with a friend of mine, Harvey Richardson from Canada.  Harvey was my mentor for the GATE program when I was in first grade.  He's an optical engineer and has worked on some of the largest telescopes in the world.

The original article (to which I am responding) is available at the bottom.
