photoblog: entropy is the new rands
June 13, 2008
The word random and all of its derivatives (rands, randoms, randiferous, randtastic) is old school. Let’s move on to entropy and its derivatives.
Today was an entropitous day. On my walk to the bus (aside: I think the public transit system in Vancouver is great) I walk by a small field that is infested with the most cuddly, furry, cutesy dutesy wild rabbits. There are several tiny ones so I take it they just finished a mating cycle. Unfortunately, I saw one strewn across the road with its insides freshly squeezed by the wheel of a thousand-plus pound automobile. I didn’t take a photo of that one.
I went to school to get some housekeeping done and the lady helping me out kindly said that it would take a week or so until I would hear a response from them.
I walked out and catched Ant walking into his lab. I told him I had a daypass and was going to roam around.
I then decided to give Mumta a call because she wanted to hang out. I walk around Gastown to kill time and tell her to go all the way to Waterfront. I walk around and just catch the steam clock whistling.
She brought along Mel (はじめまして) and we go to Lonsdale Quay (pronounce that).
Here’s some food for thought for those that have been on the Seabus. Why on earth does the emergency hatch lead below levels? If, worst-case scenario, the ship were to sink, wouldn’t you want to head up to higher ground rather than go towards where there is water?
We grab a bite, eat some ice cream, go to Robson, and meet up entripitously with their friend Camille (はじめまして) and spend her break in the world-famous Starbucks across from the Starbucks.
Everybody parts ways and I come home to watch the Celtics come-back after being down 20 in the third quarter.
Good times all around.
sleep
April 18, 2008
I probably will sleep very little tonight tomorning. I had ANAT 391 (Gross Human Anatomy) this morning and it was long. I have CPSC 322 (Intro to A.I.) in less than 12 hours and I’m going through topics in Uncertainty right now. I still have Decision Theory to go through. It’s going to be a long night morning. See you on the other side.
bring on the exams
April 14, 2008
Hello everyone. To my brothers and sisters who have finished another year of school, stellar job folks. Let’s kick some exam ass and then go off to our summer jobs/school/travels/lack-of-the-formers. This is a placeholder post because I’ll more likely than not be occupied until the 29th of April when UBC’s exam schedule will release me from its merciless clutches.
Godspeed girls and guys.
student behind ubc threats arrested
March 3, 2008
“Making threats is not a solution to any problem you may be facing at school or in your personal life. There are several social services available to students and we encourage you to use them,” said German.

So, there you have it UBC classmates. Let’s get back at those exams, papers and quadratic equations. And please keep in mind that last little part. If things get rough, don’t fret and threat. Instead, know and go. Cheesy, I know.
