Intermingling in the golden rays
There's a model, you should realise,
A paradigm of this that's dancing right before your eyes -
For look well when you let the sun peep in a shuttered room
Pouring forth the brilliance of its beams into the gloom,
And you'll see myriads of motes all moving in many ways
Throughout the void and intermingling in the golden rays
As if in everlasting struggle, battling in troops,
Ceaselessly separating and regathering in groups.
From this you can imagine all the motions that take place
Among the atoms that are tossed about in empty space.
This note by Andreas is nice!

Northern Portrait
I discovered Northern Portrait last week. These Danes, at their worst, sound like a poor man's Smiths. But at their best they sound like... well, the Smiths, but on happy pills.
I'm gay...
In the old fashioned sense of the word!

10314
This may not seem believable, but twenty minutes ago the following thought popped into my head:
"Hmmm... it should be my 10,000 + 100πth day sometime around now."
I looked it up on Wolfram alpha. It's today.
BRAIN, YOU ARE ODD

Data
Here's a graph showing the number of visits to my website over the last month:
Anyone would think the students didn't care about the course until a couple of days before the midterm. The final exam (worth up to 85% of their grade) should be interesting!

Chocolate chip cookies!
Based on this... very nice they are too, if I may say so myself!
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1.5 tablespoons drinking chocolate
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon golden syrup
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Makes about 16.
Preheat the oven to 190C. Beat together butter and sugar, then egg, vanilla and golden syrup. Stir in the flour, baking powder and drinking chocolate, and finally the chocolate chips. Scoop out small balls of mixture and place on baking tray lined with greaseproof paper, flattening slightly as you do so. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 2 minutes, then remove from the tray.

Abel
If much of the National's last couple of albums have been a man trapped in a bubble of his own making, slowly feeling his grip on reality fade away, then Abel is full-blown insanity, padded rooms and shock therapy - the whole deal, wire, briar, and limber lock.

If drawing inventive pictures of quicksort was a useful skill, I'd be sorted. Click the image for a higher resolution version.
