  • An Overarching metaphor
    Thursday, October 11, 2007 - 20:01

    I thought about Kirsten's entry on blogging, and it didn't quite sit right with me... It's not wrong, by any means - blogging is in a way like a hall of mirrors - but it...

  • Update on the <strike>albatross</strike>thesis
    Tuesday, October 9, 2007 - 14:03

    In a large part due to the lovingly "piss or get off the pot" prompting of K, I spent the long weekend working on the thesis. Although I have put the first chapter behind me (for now), I really felt as though the second chapter was an incoherent...

  • Review: Dodge Magnum

    Thursday, September 13, 2007 - 09:16

    I woke up late this morning. I seem to be stuck in some weird vortex of time, where 10pm at night feels like 1am, and 7am feels like 4am. Nova Scotia time, it seems, is messing with me. So I bolted out of bed at 8:05 (I conveniently turned off...

  • A special request
    Monday, September 10, 2007 - 10:20

    I have a special request from Dr. K to help her get a better Google ranking for her own name. We've set up kirsten.uszkalo.com for her website and class pages, and we'd like people...
