Chapter 2: TGIF

I just got out of class and I was hungry. I was sauntering towards O-Hill as usual when, suddenly, I ran into a certain bike rider whose motto always was Go Where the Free Food Is. I watched as he locked up his bike in front of the Physics Building and effortlessly leaped up three flights of stairs within seconds. It took me 3 minutes to climb those same stairs. Eventually, I caught up to him in the Reference Room becoming more skeptical by the minute that anything edible could be found in such a godforsaken space. Then, as I nearly fell faint to the floor with feelings of famishment, finally, the fresh, fine aroma of Dominos found me. It was Free Food Friday in the Fisx building.

The Spork of the Gods

I just got this email from my roommate:

"I have something very important to share with you guys:

Titanium Spork

That is all.

- Derrin"

Sounds familiar........

Optics Lecture (zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)

So I saw Gallagher (the professor, not the watermelon-death-machine) today! Hes in town doing an external review of William & Mary's physics department. I know his lectures were rough, but he's very nice - he came and found me and said hello 'n stuff.

Last semester we had the Cass, this semester its the Gallagher, I wonder who's next -

hopefully Ajar - oooh, if only....

I can dream.....

Classic

Crayon Physics

To all the slackers in the reference room,

This is worth looking at. It's kind of like that MIT physics drawing program mixed with Paper Mario, cuz it's just amazing! You can probably get the deluxe version from torrent sites.

Check it out at http://www.crayonphysics.com/

Enjoy,

nice...real nice

I post here for the first time. I am surrounded by physicsy people talking Hamiltonians and scratching their balls. I hear a sound...THAT WAS EASY! I get back to work. I am interrupted 10 seconds later. Time for a Castle break. I nod appropriately as my anticipatory stomach and tiring brain converge on a Red Bull like a Fourier series of a periodic function on that given function.

That ends Chapter 1 of "The Reference Room: Chronicles of Ed_Oc_121."

Scroll down.........

Greetings, gentlemen! I'm psyched about this.

May be swinging through Virginia in a few weeks. Anyone going to be around?

HELLLOOOOOO

Go to sleep Yuehaw.  Do your lab reports Emmett.  Let's go get some beer Matt.

Ramblings I

I was sitting in my office one day, and I had work to do, and I was just thinkin how awesome it would be if I could go to Jesse Beams Lab, up to the third floor, and hang out in the reference room......
and then chat and socialize and not get any work done.

Thus I thought, why not have a virtual reference room?
(rhetorical question... I know there are lots of reasons not to)

plus, despite the size of the readings available on the internet, i got bored of reading the same stuff...

also...... you, you got what i neeeeeeed, but you say hes just a friend, but you say hes just a friend......

DR Pepper

Apparently Dr Pepper was created a year before coca-cola, and in texas....
I had no idea.....

Procrastination

I was supposed to be writing a grant proposal, so of course I set up a blog instead.....


So what's goin on?
