awesome things

  • I made a really delicious stir-fry with carrots, onions, garlic, peppers, fake sausage and "General Tso" sauce from Trader Joe's. I didn't eat the whole thing in one sitting. I ate half of it in one sitting, then got hungry again, and now I'm eating the other half.
  • Higher education! So many of my friends are doing PhD-ful things, it's beautiful. Fantastic PhD news this week from the [livejournal.com profile] lindseykuper and [livejournal.com profile] gtv42 camps.

We'll see if I can keep my foot in the door at the Goog with internships...
  • On the googlefront: Picasa. Beautiful. Like iPhoto, but faster and slicker, and for Linux or Windows. It found all my old photos. Including:

I don't know how you do it, it's about all I can do to finish the masters right now.

It's easier to just do 'em both at once! I'm a Ph.D. student, but I've never been to grad school before. I don't understand why more people don't do it this way. It's where the funding's at.
