I just discovered that my flights to and from Denver in January for the trek across the country to the Inauguration events will be with “Ted Airlines”:http://www.flyted.com/ and I am excited. I hear they have great service, comfortable seating, and good food. Should be fun. … Read More →

Five Minute Break
Ok, I’m giving myself five minutes between tasks. I just finished my first secondary application (due less than six days after receiving it, no less!), and must move directly onto physical chemistry as I have a fat, juicy mid-term tomorrow morning at 7:30 am. No, … Read More →
Wikipedia is cool!
!(alignright)http://www.sensoryoutput.com/wp-images/postings/logowikipedia.png(Free, community-run encyclopedia)!:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page The “Wikipeda”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page is as awesome resource! For those not in the know, the Wikipedia is a community-run encyclopedia of sorts that dwarfs any commercially-available encyclopedias in both the amount and (in my opinion) the quality of information. It contains “entries”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_in_a_ring on “solutions”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_harmonic_oscillator … Read More →
Googling Me
!(alignright)http://www.google.com/images/logo_sm.gif(Google, Inc.)!:http://www.google.com/ “Google”:http://www.google.com/ is a funny technology. It highlights how people find you (with the help of “Shaun Inman’s”:http://www.shauninman.com/ “ShortStat”:http://www.shauninman.com/mentary/past/shortstat_again.php web statistics package), showcases various idiosyncratic phrases within posts, and truly reveals how deep in Google’s results people go before they click on me.

So Close Now
!(alignright)http://www.sensoryoutput.com/wp-images/postings/smallbath.jpg(Small bathroom tiling complete)! When remodeling a house, there are so many details, details that I have -ranted on- spoken about quite a few times in the last few months. Needless to say, we are *close* and have just a bunch of little things left … Read More →
MailStat Having (Some) Difficulty
So I use my trusty iBook to receive all my email. My iBook, however, is showing its age, as it no longer has the speed to keep up with the demanding tasks that I wish to complete. To work, MailStat uses an AppleScript to insert … Read More →
Powerful Diction
I often come across words that I know, but rarely use. These words are sophisticated and show off a bit of erudite by the user, and I often jot them down in the hopes of remembering the word. This has proven really ineffective, as my … Read More →
Remembering 9/11
!(alignright)http://www.sensoryoutput.com/wp-images/postings/flag.jpg(American Flag)! It’s difficult to believe that three whole years have passed since the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and the downing of a plane full of people in rural Pennsylvania. I clearly remember my French host mother picking me up … Read More →
Remodel continues
Ugh. Painting an entire house really wears you down, especially when that involves: * Changing every power outlet from an almond colored outlet to a white one (~50) * Changing every light switch from almond to white (~25) * Removing doors, painting doors and putting … Read More →
Fresh View
!(alignright)http://www.sensoryoutput.com/wp-content/pages/freshview/images/freshview_logo.jpg!:http://www.sensoryoutput.com/projects/freshview/ Ah, it’s done! Many, including myself, have expressed some lament over the lack of any purely-visual indicators for Shaun Inman’s “Mint”:http://www.haveamint.com/. I have some thoughts as to why Shaun shied away from any visual cues. For one, most other web statistic tracking applications inundate … Read More →
