Well so it has been a month since I posted. Julie and I took a work-cation to Austin, Texas for a job. It was fun; Austin is a cool town and we saw something called Master Pancake at the Ritz theatre. It was basically MST3K with Sex & the City. My god that was a horrible movie. For all the women in the world who aspire to Sex & the City levels of "coolness" or whatever that is that's going on there... DIE. But the live razzing made it bearable, plus they served beer and cheesesteaks. I didn't get a single picture the whole trip. Austin's not that kind of cool I guess. If I get to go again I want to find all of the Slacker locations.
Otherwise, I've been busy with school, which is the main reason I haven't posted. So since I've got nothing else, below is a link to a powerpoint I had to do for my math class. I had to choose a mathematician and I chose Grigori Perelman because he's totally hard core. I lost points on it for being "too wordy". I think my math teacher might be an idiot. Click on the link to enjoy.
I thought this was well done and it kept my interest but I suspect your professor got more offended by your politics than the math stuff - he's not a radical and Perelman clearly is... way outside the established world of academia in terms of lifestyle, ambition, etc. So your math prof might be an idiot by virtue of living in the box rather than risking to go outside of it...

No, she said she actually liked it but that power points should never be too wordy. That was in the rubric. The problem is she never specified a word count! The initial draft was way longer, and I figured it would be fine, but Julie made me cut it down to it's present form and it was apparently still too wordy. You'd be surprised at how much cool info I had to cut out.
