Diana’s Graduation,
originally uploaded by nephariuz.

Diana graduated from her medical college last night. She was one of only four in her class inducted into the Lamba Beta honor society. Yaaaay!

Wow, , bet you didn’t know that little job referral was going to consume 8 years of my life, move me to another state, and indirectly result in my meeting my future wife, did you?

Worked out pretty good, overall…

I’ve never delved this deep into vector math before, but it’s going pretty well so far. I’ve already got about a hundred of the little critters following each other around simultaneously. (And already they surprise me with unexpected behaviors. When I’m done it’s gonna be like they’re really alive.)

Night was falling as we drove back from a trail in the Superstition Mountains, and this guy was crossing the road.

The new Flock browser inspired me to establish a del.icio.us account:

I then went through my Google Search History and added everything that seemed worthwhile. It’s mostly tech and development stuff, so I won’t be participating in the shared account thing (haven’t visited any J-Pop sites in forever), but if you’re interested in such things, take a look.

Oh, and I was able to export everything from del.icio.us and import into Furl, too!

And THEN, I found I could use tools like this!
