http://wallofdeath.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Are your poems good? Ivan suddenly blurted out frankly and courageously. Don't write any more! I promise and I swear! The Master and Margarita. Saturday, March 17, 2007. More me talking about me. Just wanted to mention, while I'm procrastinating on the U of C's waitlist essay, that the show at the Charleston last weekend was SO damn fun. And for those who couldn't make it, there's a clip. Bonus entry: Rebecca Traister writes about trying to quit smoking. Posted by liz at 1:22 PM. Friday, March 02, 2007.

Are your poems good? Ivan suddenly blurted out frankly and courageously. Don't write any more! I promise and I swear! The Master and Margarita. Wednesday, February 14, 2007.

http://abstractengineer.blogspot.com/2012/12/theres-still-no-good-alternative-to.html
Rumination Value-Engineered Into Incoherence. Friday, December 14, 2012. There's Still No Good Alternative To Hard Work. I read with some mirth this article. By Dan Lyons reporting on the retraction of Series A financing in Silicon Valley to software and app startups:. Where thousands of companies will go out of business. There's a deeper issue here and I'll just cut right to it: STEM careers are not an economic silver bullet. The simple truth is that grouping any and all college majors related to STEM i...

Rumination Value-Engineered Into Incoherence. Wednesday, June 26, 2013. The Long Arcs of Human Existence. Imagine me, 16. I'm a junior in high school, this is October 1998. I'm on the sideline of a football field, in the blue and gold uniform of the Olathe South Falcons. It's a Friday night and we're playing our town rival, the Olathe North Hawks. And we're losing badly. So I fired myself up and told the coach "sub me in, I want to turn the game around! Links to this post. Monday, June 24, 2013. Seventh ...

The Abstracted Engineer: Electrical Engineer Unemployement Soars
http://abstractengineer.blogspot.com/2013/06/electrical-engineer-unemployement-soars.html
Rumination Value-Engineered Into Incoherence. Friday, June 21, 2013. Electrical Engineer Unemployement Soars. My stance on immigration has always been one of open arms and open mind. That's all been tempered in the last couple years, as it became clear to me. That many companies in the tech industry are pushing for the expansion of the H1B visa program solely so they can bring in cheaper workers and undermine the wages of degreed engineers already in the USA. R&D labor is expensive. 2) It's interesting t...

I actually had it "done" a few months ago, but due to moving, busy-ness at work, and life in general, I haven't gotten around to putting together this write-up, until now. From the hardware store ( McMaster-Carr. On Arduino-based beer brewing. That's it for hardware. Well, kind of. The water heating element, obvious...With ...

Rumination Value-Engineered Into Incoherence. Friday, August 20, 2010. The Abstracted Bucket List. And while self-satisfaction is a worthy and important lifelong goal, so too is doing things in the service of others. For example, a typical bucket list goal would be to build your own cabin on your land, or build your dream home. Would not an equally satisfying goal be to build a Habitat for Humanity home? Certainly, you lose the ability to use. 3 Learn Spanish, visit a country where that is the native lan...
