On my landlord

My landlord is “Michael Singer Real Estate”.

In one phrase, I fucking hate them.

The building I am in is a falling-apart piece of crap!

The view from the window is gorgeous and the area is pretty decent, but the building itself… Dang, I have dreams about busting into their office and smashing all the furniture there.

My rent is $1,325 per month. You’d think they would be nice to me and the rest of the people in this building…

My heat was out four times in the last 2 months. You know how much fun it is to have no heat when it’s 40 F outside? How about 20 F like last week? Without heat??!!!

Anyway, enough bitching! Here’s a fun video of my bathroom ceiling. It’s dripping water whenever upstairs neighbors take a shower… It would be OK with me, but they seem to take these showers late at night… I mean LATE! It’s like 2am and I can’t sleep because I am hearing the drops hitting the bucket… Oh, and the landlord tells me they can fix it, but I would have no access to the bathroom for 4 days to a week… GREAT! Where am I supposed to read then?? :)

D’s visit

So, Dave came to visit Philla for a minute.

T’was mad fun! I mean, what I remember of it was good! :)

How did I manage to work on friday I do not know. Showed up to work at 1pm though, which is a good start already :)

Details of the visit are not for this fragile audience though, I don’t think.

On last week

I feel this Dilbert cartoon represents well many of our lives — meetings, meetings, meetings, and more meetings.

I think I spend 1/2 of my time at work either in meetings, scheduling meetings, preparing to meetings, or emailing about the meetings. And then I come home and work on what we decided I need to work on at the meetings.

Saturdays and Sundays are reserved explicitly for meeting-free work. If I need to run an experiment, I do it on a Saturday :)

Last fridays's Dilbert

P.S. I just wanted to post this cartoon; otherwise, this post has no other purpose :)

And now… old videos :-)

Now, I’m deleting the “Videos” section of this site. I’ve decided to leave the Google videos that were already there on there, why not? Here are the links to Google vids:

Homemovies
Flying around in Terry’s chopper
Drexel Plasma Institute Student Party & “talent show”
Alexey Shareshevsky’s b-day party in the woods
Some girl singing outside my window
Swarms of fish by the dock

Silly
Poker party @ Ondrej’s - last shot of the night
Kara saying “I am Kara”
“Say cheeze”

Clubs
@ NYC with Jonathan Peters

Read on to view even more of my old videos with some short descriptions. These are, mind you, rather old, at least some of them. [note, by "rather old" I mean, like, a year, man...]

Video posts

I am moving away from hosting videos on Google. It’s a good service, I suppose, but there my vids are exposed to complete strangers just browsing around for videos.

No, I know, on this site there are plenty of complete strangers, too; however here most of you at least know that this is a personal site, etc etc etc.

Here’s my first attempt at posting a video.

This is from that poker night @ Ondrej’s. Was tons of fun, as you can probably tell from the video.

You’ll have to click “more” to see the rest of this.

LightBox plugin

I am now running a lightbox plugin. All the images now open in their own sort of a “window” inside the page. Just try it and see.

This is a rather neat toy and will likely encourage me to post more pictures more often.

I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Short week

This is a short week now. Holiday on Monday. I suppose I’d normally feel like I was relaxed. No, not this week. It just doesn’t stop.

It's friday!

New random photos of plasma

Well, as my research life as of late is centered around plasma physics, I figured I’d add some nice photos to all the pages.

Now, on every page on the right there is a random-rotating image with a short description on the bottom.

As of the time of this post, there are 92 images that I have borrowed from the Drexel Plasma Institute. I will be adding more as the time progresses. Hopefully some nice animations, too, if I have time.

Hope you enjoy these!

p.s. about 30-40% of these pics are mine and the rest are from the rest of the research team. Please feel free to ask me questions about these pics, if you like them.

My music

Some of you have been asking me about my music. Well, I listen to “all kinds”, expect (in the order of dislike): HipHop, Punk, Rock, Metal.

Generally, I listen to what’s termed “dance” music. I like house. I like techno. Much respect to the now-rising electro. I listen to euro, yes, I am… well… I listen to Euro, what do you expect :-).
