I will be moving 2.7° to the east. Therefore, sunrises will, on average, be about eleven minutes earlier! Sunrises, like tea, make it easier for me to be awake. Due to differences in Latitude, this should vary over the course of the year. For instance, today the sunrise there is 21 minutes earlier.

“I’m not sure how into the whole saving the world thing you are…”
Given a lever (truthfully) labeled “save the world,” I will pull it. I’m not confident about which levers are within my reach. I suppose I should explicitly make that one of my goals.

As of this week, I have officially made my decision to attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill starting in the fall. I will be a graduate student and research assistant in the Computer Science Department. I have been offered a summer job in the department, and will be moving up next month to start it.

But why throw away seven bits of entropy?

I now own no TV.
That thing was heavy, and I never have to lift it again.
