I spent about an hour searching the Internet for a Christmas-related graphic or card that might serve as a fair approximation for how I feel about this time of year. Unfortunately, I couldn’t really find anything that did the job. I did, however, stumble across this little gem:
I read an intriguing scribble of graffiti today on the side of a ballast as I was leaving the UC Berkeley campus for the last time. It read something like:
“It can be considered no manner of good health to be well adjusted to such a profoundly sick society.”
Somewhat dour, even for me, but I have to admit that it struck a chord.
So the main parts of the site are all in place. Here is my solution to the social networking dilemma, although I think most people are enjoying themselves so much with Facebook and MySpace that it would be impossible for them to view those “services” as anything remotely resembling any kind of problem.
There is not much more for me to add to the site. I may upload scans of my exams from the last few years when I have the equipment to do so. Also, I will try to include anything else that helps communicate the staggering and frequently unreasonable amount of work that goes along with studying Engineering and Computer Science through conventional channels. Pages for additional classes will be added as they are completed and new academic experiences will be shared when I deem it appropriate, or even necessary, to do so.
This is now my official presence on the web, which automatically makes it one of the more important websites you will ever visit in your life. I should also add that if something does not appear here or if it’s not somehow endorsed by this site, then chances are pretty good that it’s not me!
