  • Still feel like blogging

    The picture of the day.

    I don’t have a picture in mind to put at the top of the post, so whatever is there is something I found after I was done writing.

    The thing that I found was this picture from the lab report I start talking about. That’s a big transistor by modern standards, I think.

  • The end of the beginning

    A rainy day and a city road.

    Someday, it might be in my best interest to stop with the dramatic post titles. But, honestly, sometimes it just works.

  • Nice things

    A nice clarinet with an unfortunate defect.

    Everybody has a love-hate relationship with nice things. They’re nice, for sure, and they can be fun, good for learning, and nice to look at.

  • Counting down

    Starting to love this place.

    I couldn’t help but head back downtown for another half an hour to take a few more pictures of neat-looking spots. The weather hasn’t improved at all since last week or the week before, so this really is springtime. At least that gives all of the photos a similar feel.

    I was reading yesterday’s post and I just couldn’t help but make a few corrections and additions.

  • Touching concrete

    The city at work.

    I’m back at Starbucks, which is where I do all my blogging now. I’m like a diplomat, but instead of being surrounded by the law of my home country, I’m surrounded by 2012.

  • Today, tomorrow

    The end of a world

    I finally figured out Creative Commons attribution — Wikimedia Commons puts the proper attribution in HTML form for you to copy-and-paste when you download an image. This one’s the “end of a world” — feels epic. Somehow, I’m in the mood for that kind of thing at the moment.

    It’s already been a week since I came back from home for spring break, so it’s true what they say about time flying — it happens all the time, and you can’t do anything about it.

  • Halfway there

    The essence of modern life.

    As in, halfway through the semester. Feels like progress.

  • What to do today?

    My green iPod.

    I like organizing and cleaning, and my mom seems to be on board with me doing that here now that I’m home. So, maybe, that’s what I’ll do.
