Still not making as much headway on school stuff as I'd like, but I'm making some progress and it looks like I should be OK. But things are starting to tighten up schedule-wise, so it may be quiet here for a couple weeks. Tomorrow morning, we're getting out of the house to meet up with some Arcosanti people who are going to be in the area. It will be nice to catch up on all the latest gossip and find out how people are doing, who's still there, etc. When we get back from that, I'm glued to the couch until one paper is complete, then Sunday I start on the second. Then Monday, the whole thing starts all over again. The good news is that Monday marks the beginning of the end for two of the three classes so I may actually have the time to complete all the class three projects that I haven't even looked at yet.
The big news is, of course, a late-blooming strain of flu that has been killing people in Mexico, but so far, the cases in the US have been relatively mild. The most worrying aspect is the age of those killed by it so far; 25-45. These are people who should be able to shrug off even a serious illness. It's not time to duct tape the cracks around the doors and windows and live on canned goods yet, but it is a good time to be smart.
The first piece of GM hits the scrap heap. I don't care what sort of rose-scented farts the politicians in DC keep trying to blow at us; this is going to be a long, hard year.
And to end on a lighter note, the latest gadget is a brain-to-Twitter interface. It's being billed as a tool for the disabled, but you know that will end up being a small part of it. If you want to see where this is going, head to your library and check out Oath of Fealty.
Well, off to bed.
