So yes, I'm finally doing a normal update. It's been a very very very very busy past month, with my trip to the Northeast, packing for Austin, moving to Austin, essentially supplying an entire apartment from scratch, and then of course that whole work thing. Which the first day of my 30 (well ok, probably 40+) year career began yesterday. Of course being the first day nothing terribly exciting happened, but I'm very excited about the next 2 weeks as I find the group for my first rotation. The first year I do 4 13-week rotations in different groups and pick my favorite to then work full-time for at the end of the year. So a way to still figure out just what exactly I want to do.

And no, I still haven't had time to properly put up the DC/NYC pictures. But I do have some pictures of my apartment:
Moving in
The coolest shower curtain EVER
I had no idea there were so many blues in the world
Kitchen
My laptop arrangement before I got a desk
A Gator license plate holder on the front page of the Austin newspaper
Painting! It came out a tad darker than I wanted, but I still like it far more than boring white walls
Putting together my desk
The must have for any bachelor pad - The awesome plasma TV
and a real couch
The desk halfway built

What could possibly be a better gift than sending one's name into space? I'm very very tempted to do it.

The coolest website on New York's subway's on the net. I wish Austin had some real public transit.

Slate has a good article on Machinima, which I've seen around the net for years now, but it has a good amount of different samples from the genre.
