| Transitioning
The new blog is almost ready. It will be oh so much better. I'm posting there now and expect it to go live by next week. So in the meantime, I will try to maintain both blogs.
Expect more wits and charm than EVER! Like, totally. |

| Morning Freak Out
This morning there was some sort of accident on a main road next to my place and four news helicopters stood there, hovering and filming the action. Imagine my surprise upon seeing them when I woke up. I though one of them would open its side doors, launch the Ride of the Valkyries and attack the building, Apocalypse Now style... |

Funniest fucking thing (thanks Thomas for the info). Warning, it's grad-student type humor. But I'm a geek. So shut up.
Chosen bits:
Abstract: The exponential dependence of resistivity on temperature in germanium is found to be a great big lie. My careful theoretical modeling and painstaking experimentation reveal 1) that my equipment is crap, as are all the available texts on the subject and 2) that this whole exercise was a complete waste of my time.
Check this shit out (Fig. 1). That's bonafide, 100%-real data, my friends. I took it myself over the course of two weeks. And this was not a leisurely two weeks, either; I busted my ass day and night in order to provide you with nothing but the best data possible. Now, let's look a bit more closely at this data, remembering that it is absolutely first-rate. Do you see the exponential dependence? I sure don't. I see a bunch of crap.
Christ, this was such a waste of my time.
Banking on my hopes that whoever grades this will just look at the pictures, I drew an exponential through my noise. I believe the apparent legitimacy is enhanced by the fact that I used a complicated computer program to make the fit. I understand this is the same process by which the top quark was discovered.
