School has destroyed my time
Wow it has been almost two months since I have written anything in here. I kept on intending too but never got around to it due to the pile of school work that continues to mount on my desk.
I am taking four classes right now and also working full time in Dialysis. I am also adding on another class next semester so just when you think that It can not get any worse - BAM three more credit hours.
It’s okay though. School is very interesting - I am stressed but am learning all sorts of amazing things. I am taking Intermediate Algebra, Biology, Biopsychology, and Social Psychology. March first I am going to also begin human health and disease. A lot of science classes! I wish I could supplement with some fun classes but I am all out of electives. So - no more fun for me. Time to buckle down and knock all of this out of the ballpark.
Next semester is going to be even worse - and so on until I graduate and then! Med school - life’s little gift to us all. :)
Anyway - if I am disappeared again for a few months you will know why. I will make attempts to write more. It keeps the brain going and that is always good.
Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.

via Christopher Butler November 3, 2026Internet Archive’s alphabet
I love the Internet Archive, but I don’t love its interface. It’s just… not great all around, homely and confusing. It has some endearing qualities, harking back to the web of the 1990s without endless commerce and incessant growth hacking – Wikipedia feel...

Yesterday's hot paper was Sparks of Weight-Space Programming: LLMs can natively read & write neural network weights by Rikiya Takehi, Jayden Teoh, Alex Zhang, and Omar Khattab. The paper (OK, the authors classify is as a "blog post", but it's paper-shaped)...
