And a view from the side, where you can see how I’m trapping the stitch with my thumb.

How I hold my needles, for Marci. Please ignore how the right needle is hanging in space: I needed one hand for the camera.

I got an email from my school’s IT people accusing me of downloading The Big Bang Theory season 4 on the school Internet.

I don’t like that show. I have been on campus less than three hours a week for the last eight months. I have never torrented anything in my life.

On the other hand, the message was addressed to Eric. My name is not Eric.

I’m hoping they got the username wrong, not the legal name.

Staring at graphs again.

Day 30 of 366.

I need to go back and take a picture of this in better light and when my hands are steadier.

I’m pretty sure there used to be another “t” on this sign, but it amused me. I’m not sure how to use stars to clean my dog, but it sounds amusing.

Day 29 of 366.

Why cold places are hazardous to my health: a visual.

I had been sitting in Taco Bell for about 20 minutes when this was taken. I am wearing a jacket rated to -15F, thermal long underwear, thermal socks, and a wool hat. This Taco Bell is kept chilly, but not so chilly that the workers seem uncomfortable, and others seem okay.

I, on the other hand, start turning blue.
