Personal:

Tired

    By Jack Grant

I have many things I want to write about, but in the course of researching and writing justifications for patents, writing the lectures for my class in Chemical Vapor Deposition, and running my experiments in making integrated circuits smaller, faster, and more functional, I don't have much energy left to write.

Thank God I'm not a parent. Those who are and can still find the energy and creativity to write for weblogs (or do ANYTHING else other than collapse at the end of the day) have my profound admiration.

Notice those linked above are all women. Yes, they are stronger than men in the ways that count in the long term.

Such nice things to say.

I'm honored to be in Bou and VW's company.

Thank you.

Random Fate - latest posts


We don't handle randomness well.
   -Dr. Lucy Jones



Trying to hold the center in not so quiet desperation while the left and the right do their damnest to tear everything apart.


What Others Say
An American transplanted to France for the moment, Jack is sometimes conservative, sometimes liberal, and almost always right.
   -Pennywit

Jack has an impressive knowledge of history, politics, and Keanu Reeves. When it comes to pirates, Jack is waaay sexier than that pansy Dread Pirate Roberts. Oh, wait--I'm thinking of Jack Sparrow...
   -Jennifer (Jennifer's History and Stuff)


Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
   -William Butler Yeats, January 1919


Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
   -Dandemis


Wahabism Delenda Est
Wahabism must be destroyed.
