School starts tomorrow (actually as I'm writing this just after midnight I guess it would be today) and it's been way too short of a break. I bought books today and paid a small fortune in doing that (over $400). I just have one more class to graduate with a BS in computer engineering (Software Engineering), and one more class for my math minor (decided to take Intro to Number Theory). Then I'm taking an electrical class that I'd have to take anyways for grad school (Signals and Systems). And then because I've always wanted to, I'm taking an entry level astronomy course for fun.
New Years was fun, went down to the beach again in the Sarasota region, and basically wandered around there for a few hours. In the spirit of end of the year lists, here's one on the top 10 scientific news stories of 2004. My favourite one being the dawn of civilian spaceflight.
I really could have used this article on robot rights for my social issues paper last semester.
I backed up my hard drive to DVD's today, which got me thinking about archiving stuff. All my pictures the last year and a half (barely) fit on a small little DVD, instead of overflowing into multiple shoeboxes or photo albums like previous generations had to do. Of course if I had to use film instead of the virtually limitless hard drive space, then I don't think I would have bothered to take most of the pictures I do.
