I’m alive, but a little behind. I’ve been trying to sort through my emails and get the number still needing response down to zero, plus barely sleeping. It’s been a rough past week. A lot of vtONE stuff came up, and I said goodbye to a number of friends. Congratulations to the VT class of […]
On Sunday, nlcf joined with Campus Crusade, Athletes in Action, Cornerstone, and Blacksburg United Methodist Church (think Wesley Foundation) for a combined Easter service in Burruss Auditorium. Some of the featured speakers included student athletes and coaches, including football’s head coach Frank Beamer. The Collegiate Times wrote an article about Beamer’s participation in the service, […]
Don’t you feel like the important stuff is glossed over at the expense of the fluff some days?
It’s been a busy last few days. Between meeting with a lot of people (mostly on vtONE stuff), two tests no one was prepared for, and a random afternoon in Roanoke, I’ve kept busy. Here’s a short recap: Monday: studying for numerical methods test Tuesday: numerical methods test, two homework assignments that I wasn’t aware […]
I just discovered that since March 17 I’ve spent 13 hours talking on my cell phone. That’s pretty amazing, since my previous phone (which crapped out on me) which I got it June had just over 83 hours on it when I got it replaced. I averaged about 9 hours a month with that phone, […]
I think this may be the best legalese footnote I’ve ever seen: A certain four-letter verb for “copulate,†of possible Scandinavian origin (see Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary (1977) p. 463, col. 2) appears frequently in the record along with its gerundive and a related noun involving the maternal parent. From footnote 1 of this California […]
Sometimes you get a very well intentioned email that makes you stop and think. This morning, I got an email with the subject Fw: Engineers Against Cancer. Even though it came off the ECE department listserv (they forward just shy of 15 billion emails a day), I glanced at the message and got to thinking. […]
In the past two days, I’ve been mentioned in two other blogs. While I read and link to both these blogs, I find it amusing that I would get my first and second mention in another blog only a day apart. Saturday, I was featured (complete with photo!) by Snook for being his second largest […]
I’m very busy at the moment, so sorry for the blog slience. I’m presenting to the Christian Faculty Fellowship today and I have a big micro project due Monday that I need to do a lot of work on. Also, the last week has been teaching me how to pray. I should be back next […]
I had this strong desire to write a few specific things in one of my (paper) journals. I get the journal out and discover I’ve lost my good pen. I then realize how bad tomorrow would have been if I had gone through all my classes without a proper writing implement. It’s small things like […]
