Over the holidays Mike figured out how to transfer my cell phone photos to my computer via Bluetooth. Speaking of how nature soothes the brain, in the shot above we have the Mt. Auburn cemetery in the springtime. See, Boston weather is nice for a couple months a year, right?
A couple years ago, the US post office released a bunch of stamps commemorating the new Star Wars movies. This led to some neat ads:

which some might say were more entertaining than the actual movies. Don't get me wrong, Episodes IV-VI are still exciting and stunning to watch, but let's face it, the last three just haven't had much juice. Those of you who have known me for a while know how painful it is for me to admit that. By the way, don't miss David Brin's book 'The Postman'; the post office is definitely one of the most useful but underappreciated parts of our government.
Finally, here's a cute picture of my mom and me after graduation in 2007, standing outside my dorm at MIT. That was a nice place to live, right on the Charles river. Now I can even recall the antisocial personalities there with fondness... there was the girl who cooked fish directly on the stovetop, the girl who constantly blew a whistle to warn the rest of us to stay out of her way, the girl who made toilet paper artwork on the bathroom floor... those were the days.
