I’m currently setting up a shiny new 17″ MacBook Pro for one of the professors I’m working for (it’s going to be a very interesting summer with 3 part time jobs and 4 bosses!). Being that the University and NURC have licenses for a variety of software he uses that are PC licenses or are [...]
I’m so close to being done with the semester. I have one last exam. It’s for a great class, but the final exam is killing me. It’s a take home exam, which means it’s far harder than what we would be subjected to in an in class exam. Well, except maybe the Marine Reaction and [...]

May and June will be making a 10-15 minute video DVD for deep sea trawling impacts on seamounts. Of course that means I have to go [...]
