A lot of stuff goes into my brain, some of it by choice. If I decided to watch, read, play, or do it, I'd like to talk about it here. I'm a musician, a sometime actor, a frequent player of electronic and table-top games, and a lapsed reader (though I'm getting better). I write long and awkward sentences, because the more things resemble Douglas Adams' writing, the more I want to live in the world. Thanks for reading.

renewal

Hm.

Things have started up for the summer. Well, they've been going for almost a month. Two courses in school -- Vector Calculus, and its evil sidekick Web Programming. This week we've got some evaluation happening in the math domain, and next week, the web assignment's being handed in. I may well put it up for people to try playing with.

The maths, once again, are about floating three-dimensional shapes. The professor makes the pain less acute.

The programming is very tangible. You see the results very quickly. For now, we make toys. Soon we make the clockwork on which the toys rest.

Music's going slowly. The choir is auditioning a new conductor -- we're in the process of having them run rehearsals, to get a sense of their vibe with the choir. Part of the trick is that there's a certain feeling we're trying to replicate, something involving an "older, cooler kid" with respect to the rest of the group.

Dunno whether that unfairly biases us against younger and less cool candidates.
