I read a very interesting article today, linked from an article on ifacethoughts (a blog I read). The article itself is about undergraduate Computer Science majors, but I felt like the premise goes far beyond that specific example. In reality it speaks to the terms of higher education in general, and I’m going [...]

For those of you who did not get my email, I’ve uploaded 2 albums of photos of my niece, Lily, for viewing:

Feel free to pass these links out to anyone you know who might be interested.

This is probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen in my life. MIT is sponsoring a program to put their entire coursework online free for anyone to use (called OpenCourseWare). They include tests, lecture notes, videos, problem sets, and more. Everything is distributed under a Creative Commons Share-Alike License. [...]

Well, talk about a productive winter break. I went from never having seen more than 10 minutes of NBC’s The Office to now having seen every episode. I bought Sadie Seasons 1 & 2, and it had me hooked. I’m not going to lie. The show is definitely funny, but if [...]

I added Sam Javanrouh’s photoblog Top Left Pixel to my blogroll. I’ve been a fan for a while. He takes some of the coolest photos I’ve ever seen.

I’m moving my domain over from GoDaddy to my brand new ANhosting account. What difference does this make for you? Probably not much. I’ve been using ANhosting for a week or two with the RMstudents website and I liked them so much (and they were having such a good Halloween hosting special) [...]

So I realize I’ve been slacking with this website. Turns out med school was a lot more work that I imagined, and a lot of my free time has been spent working on the RMstudents website. Fortunately today we completed our move to ANhosting and there should be more time for development. [...]
