Home again, home again.

Instead of being on campus, I am at home. This is due to a slight maintenance emergency that happened this weekend where miome was using the shower, leaned against the wall, and had it cave in about two inches. Needless to say, maintenance went "WTF?" and is now coming in today and tomorrow to rip out all the time and make sure there are no more shower walls that cave in.

I have got to make sure I get my statistics homework and my monthly report for my internship done. I cannot play Dark Cloud 2 all day.

This is my kind of hockey

Article on the BBC about a new study corroborating the Mann hockey stick controversy.

I've actually read the paper by Mann that started it all as well as attended a talk by him about the paper. If you are so inclined, you can read it too in in PDF form (I can already hear some people's brain asplody. I have to say, this is actually one of the easier to follow scientific papers I've had to read). A lot of people also credit it with starting the man-made global warming debate.

It's also an illustration of why I avoid debating climate change with people like the plague. Trying to debate climate change with someone who doesn't understand the difference between weather records and climate records and where they come from is, for me, very much like beating my head against a brick wall. I've tried and all it does is give me a headache. So I don't any more.

And in other news, I have discovered that I'm going to have to finish my stats homework tomorrow on campus because I screwed up in getting all the data I need with the stats program the professor wants us to use. Sigh...

Meh.

Today has sucked like a Hoover vacuum and I am through with it.
