The Google News photo algorithm comes up with some hilarious combinations sometimes. :-P

NSF GK-12 Fellowship

Monday, April 21st, 2008

Dear Students,

Congratulations. You have been selected for the NSF GK-12 fellowship. This fellowship as you recalled I mentioned pays XX,000 a year, starting with this Summer, plus an extra stipend for tuition.

If you recall, it involves setting up an after-school program for middle-schools to motivate students to choose computer science (or a STEM) for their future careers.

We will come up with the official letter (the one you have to sign) soon (probably next week), but I just wanted to inform you that you have been selected.

If you are still with us on this project, please reply to me acknowledging your acceptance. We had more candidates than positions, so I have to make sure you are all on board before I notify those who were not selected.

Best wishes, and I look forward to hearing from you.


Dr. Jorge A. Cobb

I just want to mention that I am madly in love. Yay to me, and how wonderfully amazing my sweet, smart, nerdy, independent, and incredibly gorgeous girlfriend is. I love you babydoll. :)

DeSiGLE – Derek's Simple Gnome LaTeX Editor

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

I wanted a simple GTK-based LaTeX editor with spell checking, syntax highlighting and a preview pane. None that I could find fit this bill, so I rolled my own.

Use if you wish.

Daily caffeine 'protects brain'

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

Coffee may cut the risk of dementia by blocking the damage cholesterol can inflict on the body, research suggests.

The drink has already been linked to a lower risk of Alzheimer’s Disease, and a study by a US team for the Journal of Neuroinflammation may explain why.

W00t! =P
