Hi Danny,
I didn't get it 
please explain... |
"01100001" is binary code for a lower-case "a"
"Wurst" is German for "sausage"
"MD" is the abbreviated title of a medical doctor
Thus, I was welcoming our newest members, 01100001 (now Argent) and Wurst MD!

Arizona is wonderful! School is really hard but in a good way -- I've already learned so much, I'm meeting some really great people, and I think I've done a pretty good job of making the most of my opportunities. Last semester I took classes on the philosophy of psychiatry, egalitarian political philosophy, and environmental ethics and policy. This semester, I'm taking classes on the philosophy of Adam Smith and David Hume, moral and social evolution, and watershed and ecosystem function, as well as a short "toolkit" course on global change (about which I shall not be inclined to debate with anyone who has read less than 100 pages of non-skeptical scientific work on the subject). I'm also helping one of my professors put together a new edition of his environmental ethics textbook, as well as working with one of my friends to start a grad student arm of an interdisciplinary environmental research organization on campus. Occasionally I even sleep!
As for the natural setting here, I couldn't be happier. The weather is beautiful nearly all the time (especially compared to the weather in Wisconsin where I did my undergrad work), and the area is just stunningly gorgeous. For example, here's a picture one of my friends took when we went out to a place called Gate's Pass for the sunset. I live like half an hour from there! One of the coolest parts about it is that even though Tucson is pretty desert-looking, you can drive to some of the surrounding mountains and be in the middle of the forest in a little over an hour. Here's a picture of me from a hiking expedition earlier in the fall with a few of my friends -- look how green it is!
So all in all, I guess I can only say that it's been well worth the workload and relative poverty! |

Whatever. Geek humor. My joke was way funnier and Argent rocked!
