Purpose of Blogging?
Posted in Uncategorized by Ellen - Jan 31, 2009
I’ve spent a lot of time lately considering the purpose of blogging- I tend to have a few different types of things I want to be able to do on the internet: Share random tidbits about what I’m doing, hilarious things that happen, and things that aren’t necessarily appropriate for professional life. Particularly quotes from [...]

Today I had the pleasure of journeying down to Lansing (our state capital) with the intent of figuring out how engineering informs politics and policy. I’m still trying to tease out the difference between the two- so if you have thoughts on the matter- let me know. Overall, it was a very informative session. Having [...]

… oh. my. god. So, I have an entire notebook full of “things to blog about,” but upon sitting down to do it, I find myself paralyzed by options on where to start. So, I think the most appropriate thing will be to blog a general overview of the concept of EduCon2.1, and go from [...]

Posted in Uncategorized by Ellen - Jan 23, 2009
Today is one of those days that I know I’m working for a start-up. We started working this morning as soon as we got back from Olin, worked all day until a friend dropped by, worked more, went out to dinner, and have been working ever since. Now, it’s past 3am, and with a video [...]

I’m slightly enjoying the isolation I have here. It’s a nice change of pace from Olin life, or even house-life. It’s a lot of time alone, in one place (luckily I like the place) and wandering around by myself (which I’m sure I’ll do more when it’s warmer). I’ve taken to coming up with relatively [...]

So, for the record, I’m spending more time alone than I ever have beore. I spend a bunch of time in my room working on my research/working on various projects/reading/etc. So, for your viewing pleasure, some images of my environment: That is all. So now you know where I live this semester! Come visit!
