It's great to see one of my own ideas as the "last word" in my favorite biology journal!

*SPOILER*
Actually, I don't know why I was so generous with Marx the other night! I think it may have been the fact that I was drunk on Duvel and Delirium tremens at the time...
I would recommend anyone who thinks the stuff he says about the proletariat owning or controlling the means of production is a good idea to read Jean Baudrillard's book "The...

I am eating a one pound serving of ravioli, also drinking my 3rd latte since I woke up at 2pm and some mineral water too. Listening to the Peter Pears/Benjamin Britten recording of Schubert's "Winterreise" and reading Temper's new blog. Great way to start off a night! Weird adventures, cool pics and rad music. Also, if you haven't heard Britten's "Rape of Lucretia", listen to...

Well, I didn't get into ASU or Nebraska. Oddly, the Nebraska people I interviewed with in Biology just reiterated the complaints about me having too many big ideas. What a surprise, I live with my head in the clouds of esotieric philosophical and mathematical theories and... I have lots of big ideas? Who could ever have guessed such a thing!
On the other hand...it turns...

Ladies, Gentlemen and Criminals,
ASU was great, but I'm not narrow-minded enough for their department. Nebraska was friggin' amazing... until I got to Utah. The University of Utah was fucking awesome! I interviewed with one of the most famous living theoretical biologists in the world. I hope I get in!
At noon I head to Seattle to interview at the University of Washington! I am...

Well the year is finally getting interesting: I applied to 4 top 10 PhD programs in my field and I scored visits/interviews at 3 of them! Woohooo! I had a 4th today, a phone interview to see if one likes me or not. I guess the graduate committee at this school didn't like the idea that I work in multiple fields, bridging disciplines and obliterating...

I had the most absurd recollection recently: not merely that a buff, yoga-hottie friend of my mom's had given me a lapdance and then a bj one drunken night, but that I had pinned her down after and tried to rip her orange thong panties off. And I could not get the friggin' waistband to break! Very crazy. It was perhaps the best bj I've...

Everybody my first article just appeared online! This is so friggin' amazing! It's the first, and the craziest, I will post a full PDF at some point but for now take a look!

Anyhow, whooo! Damn I am hotttt...

I have been working away, once again, on a new idea for a paper: animals that use tools! Yeah, there are so many awesome animals in the world, but I have a very specific reason, which I cannot share just yet, for looking at only animals that use tools, in particular species that use tools but show regional, sex-specific and/or niche specific variations in the...

Everyone, my oldest brother, Namdev, is awesome. Please check out his book! It just hit the market yesterday and I think many in the SG community will enjoy it, and his other recent release about skateboard art. His old college, MCAD, liked it so much he's teaching a course on skateboard art this summer! It's his first time teaching and I'm pretty happy for him...
