Simplifying the complex and complexifying the rest: Ravings on physics, politics, education, motoring, and the Harvard comma.
Today started out cold with gray skies and a light drizzle.
About one third of the wannabe engineers in my first semester physics class were absent.
Should have taken attendance to see how this particular measure of motivation relates to overall success in the course.
"I want a good job, but not badly enough to go to class when the sun isn't shining."
Dr. Pion is a pseudonym for a physicist whose research once included study of the pi meson. His expertise also includes the history of nuclear weapons and proliferation, but his main interest today is teaching "physics for scientists and engineers". He uses the pseudonym CCPhysicist when commenting in certain blogs because he teaches at a community college.
There is no connection at all between this blog and the real people (a veterinarian and a physician) known as Dr. Pion who show up in a Google search on this name.

Well *duh*. No point in leaving the dorm if it would man you'd be uncomfortable for a few minutes. There's X-Box to play, you know?
