So it’s late-night before a pretty killer lab is do for Programming Languages and I’m watching a bit of a Apple Keynote address where they announce the iTunes ROKR. I just wanted to note that it’s amazing what a simple, seemingly non-important update to a piece of software can do to functionality. I was using Quicktime 7.0.3 to watch these streams and I couldn’t scroll through the keynote and the playback was really choppy. A quick upgrade to 7.0.4, and bam, perfect playability. Back to the lab…

Here’s the blurb in the WBOR spring 2006 program guide about the show that’s currently being broadcast on WBOR 91.1 FM:

Columbian Algebra- Computer Science and Indie Rock. Better than sex and 1100100 times as nerdy.

Listen here.

Hey folks. As you can tell, this blog isn’t being given a proper treatment because all my blogging energies are being pointed focally to the Northern Bites Blog, whose mission I am devoting my remaining other energies to as well.

So please visit over there more often, and I’ll pick up the slack here after this Robot ride is through.

Look at these snowed-in photos of columbia.

Columbia has a very routine habit of having one real snow once a year every three or four years. All the other times, people just freak out over forecasts of dusting. Good to see more snow in Maryland than Maine for once.

UPDATE: from the front page of CNN.com:

A raging nor’easter howled its way up the East Coast on Sunday, breaking a snowfall record in New York, shutting down airports and dumping more than two feet of snow on some parts of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states. Other snowfall totals included 27.8 inches at Fairfield, Connecticut; 25.4 inches at New York’s LaGuardia Airport; 21.3 inches in Columbia, Maryland, near Baltimore; and more than a foot in parts of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, according to the National Weather Service.
