My Favorite...

Let's say we were playing twenty questions. And let's say you asked me what my favorite comic was. (Because that's everybody wants to know...) I would have to say this one. It's nerdy, satirical, and just a little off.

Check out more here.

Vacation, All I Ever Wanted!

For the next few days, until Thursday, I will be incognito, unreachable, technologically challenged, in short, camping. I'm going to go hide away from the world for a little while. I'll be rock climbing, hiking, sitting by a cozy campfire, and loving every minute of it.

Pictures might follow this one up. I am, however, notoriously bad at sharing promised pictures. But I'll try.

In the meantime, everybody have a great spring break!

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.

Then the leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

A little Robert Frost in honor of the lovely weather.

Making up for Lost Time

We talked about graduate school in class yesterday. I still am not sure what I might do about graduate school. I know I want to get a PhD in engineering, but what I really enjoy is renewable energy. Schools are just now starting to make this a major so I don't know how I will incorporate this into my current major, let alone a graduate degree.

In other news, I found the information about the RISK grants at USI very interesting. I have a dead car in my driveway that I won't even get a decent trade in on. It lived a long and fruitful life, but I want to give it a second chance. I want to convert it to all electric. I know this will take time and money, but it will be a great way to improve my skills. So, I plan on pursuing this grant option, and we'll see where it gets me.
