  • Tony’s birthday

    It’s my birthday, woo hoo! Twenty-eight years I have somehow managed to stay alive.

    Greta is the best wife, too! She’s taking me to see Shanghai Knights, lunch at Chipotle, Dinner at this fancy restaraunt by her office and then on Tuesday I get my present: tickets to see Lewis Black. I’m pretty stoked!

    I’m also submitting my Thesis to Prof. Berger for his perusal. So many things are happening!

  • Thesis update #8

    There is a moment in a paper’s life that you are writing when you finally stop typing and you print it out. I am getting ready to print out my Thesis for the first time. I’m doing this to take a step away from writing to see what things are starting to look like. This gives me a chance to match up a lot of my references, include new figures and graphs, and add content as I see fit. Very exciting!
