UI Observatory Open House

July 1, 2005

What did Spock find in the Enterprise's toilet? The Captain's log! [/fourth grade]

Me & R. just went to an open house by the U of I Astronomical Society, which was quite excellent -- this was at ~10pm and there wasn't a lot of people, so we got lots of time on the primary 12-foot telescope, which was wicked cool:

Without a doubt, it was very neat -- looking at stars is *so* much more interesting than med school, by a long shot (^^).

In any case, sorry for the recent lack of updates -- I'm cramming massively for med board exams and my PhD qual exams, but you can often find me at the co30 UT2k4 server -- I've actually gotten quite good, as seen in this deathmatch screencap.

That's about it, I guess -- until later, space cowboys!
