al gore, climate change, and recycling urban so-called waste

June 30, 2006

Two items today struck me as particularly noteworthy.  First off, treehugger has a great post on a couple of Al Gore videos, talking about making An Inconvenient Truth, and how to effectively get a message on climate change out and about in the public’s eye.
Oh, I hear Leonardo DiCaprio was on Oprah this week, and […]

what they teach, what we learn

June 30, 2006

Today I met a personal deadline for the application for the Environmental Management program. With any luck I will formally be listed as a “student” come fall semester. All I need to do is get a decent grade in my Biostatistics class.
Did I mention I am loving Biostatistics? I think the numbers […]

the moment i said it

June 29, 2006

I know I’ve been stuck on music for the last few posts, but it’s the media most in my life at the moment since I listen all while I’m at work, I sleep to it, and otherwise I’m running around to various beer events (hrmm… I should probably add a beer category on here so […]

I feel like this week is already at its end because Monday was so busy and, in some sense, thrilling. I came into work early to get in an hour, then went on over to my first Biostatistics class. We essentially covered descriptive statistics in 2 hours, and will be jumping into probability […]

old school/new school

June 24, 2006

Let’s see… I finished up the semester with straight A minuses, which is great. I am moderately pleased with my final papers and would really like to get them back so that I can look at the comments on them. I’d really like to get a feel for where my writing needs to be […]
