Electron microscopy.

Scanning or transmission or something else? And which methods are you using?

Time is meaningless to the Necromancer

HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

So that was freaking hilarious!

Disneyland (California - the one in Florida is Disney World I believe) was flipping incredible! Too much to write about now but it was such a great day.

.

Im like a kid at christmas (note I'm 26), I can make it sound less weird by informing you I have a 3 year old son. (although I have always wanted to goto Legoland so I'm well chuffed)

Amazon just told me my copy of Assail has shipped. Should be here by the end of the week. Yay!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Today, we had our first teacher meeting for the upcoming semester. I'm truly excited to start teaching again, after a couple of months with just research. (I know, I'm atypical, most of my colleagues would rather spend their time doing research than teaching, but I love the teaching part of my job.)

'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.'

'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.'

'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master — that's all.'

Rum.

Really, really good rum. Plantation XO, this stuff is gold.

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

Saw John Williams with the LA Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl tonight. About 50% were his works, the other a variety of classic film music. Really great event (he does it annually), and there were kids (and adults) with lightsabers everywhere. When the Star Wars theme started they all went up immediately. The only real downside was that Seth McFarlane was the special guest and came out to sing four songs. That was like 20 minutes of wasted time right in the middle of it. His voice is to singing what cough syrup is to cherry flavor.

They came with white hands and left with red hands.

My in-laws have bought a house in Oregon, just a couple of hours outside of Portland. Meaning we'll be spending our holidays in Oregon rather than Alaska from now on.

I am rather excited.

Met Matt Smith, got his autograph, had a proper photo taken with him, and he signed my wife's iphone case on a whim that made her over the moon. Then we got to see a panel with him and Arthur Darvill for an hour. It was a bloody GREAT weekend!
