These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

I am waiting to start a chat for a group project for my online class.

Group projects SUCK and in online classes they are WORSE.

Somebody hold me. I could have finished this entire thing all by myself in a week.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So amongst the math and physics people here - who has heard of Oliver Heaviside?

Not me.

Oliver Heaviside (May 18, 1850 – February 3, 1925) was a self-taught English electrical engineer, mathematician, and physicist who adapted complex numbers to the study of electrical circuits, invented mathematical techniques to the solution of differential equations (later found to be equivalent to Laplace transforms), reformulated Maxwell's field equations in terms of electric and magnetic forces and energy flux, and independently co-formulated vector analysis. Although at odds with the scientific establishment for most of his life, Heaviside changed the face of mathematics and science for years to come.

Dude lived and died in poverty.

I taped *some* of my carpet tonight. Uhg.

Hey, total lunar eclipse tonight. Totality is 10-10:50ish eastern at my location. Don't get another here for 10 years or something. Go look if it is clear. Eclipses are cool.

Eclipses are cool.

Especially a total eclipse of the heart.

Oops. Last eclipse until 2010, not 10 years.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think I looked up Mr. Heaviside because of Cats. Not like the info stuck, though.

Taking a break from gumbo-making to say:

Thank you Kathy A, Aimée, -t, JenP, KristinT, beth b, MFNlaw and Sheryl!
