I made a lot of progress yesterday on the project I have to get results from for my intern pitch. Hopefully today won't be too frustrating, as I need to write Matlab code to visualize that progress.

Anyway, nothing else exciting here. Well except for the fact that Karen appears to be morphing into a football (e.g. soccer) hooligan. Just doesn't seem like her sport. But what can I say, I watched untold amounts of rugby while I was in Switzerland, and no one would have expected that, either.

And, then, for all the liberal-artsy's in my family (which is pretty much everyone but me), for your amusement, The NSF announces - Science Hard: The National Science Foundation's annual symposium concluded Monday, with the 1,500 scientists in attendance reaching the consensus that science is hard.

My favorite line is: "I guess there's cool stuff about science," Watanabe continued, "like space travel and bombs. But that stuff is so hard, it's honestly not even worth the effort."
