By lmolyneux, on March 31st, 2012% This year I have submitted my best bracket ever. You can see it below, but I have summarized the highlights for you here:
Round 1 (which I refuse to call Round 2 even though it occurs after the new “first four” games) — Called the VCU upset, of course, because it’s VCU and there’s always some good 12-over-5 upsets. Also called Xavier but missed the rest of the upsets. Overall, 21/32 games picked correctly.
Round 2 (which the NCAA now . . . → Read More: This is just to brag; skip if your bracket didn’t do well
By lmolyneux, on March 12th, 2012% I have been very busy. I’m sure you understand.
But to give you an idea of just what I have been up to, check out this gallery. I replaced my car stereo and speakers myself, another notch in my DIY belt. The wife got a minivan and I inherited what used to be our only family car, so I had to make it mine.

By lmolyneux, on October 24th, 2011% Well, you can’t write about ALL the crazy people on the bus. Just the ones without red hair or blue hair. Narrows it down. On the bus with me today:
A guy who smells like churros sits down next to me. He is bigger than I am and could beat me up, so I am not making fun of him, just stating that I now detect the aroma of fried dough sprinkled with cinnamon, whereas before I did not. His . . . → Read More: On the bus: Hairsday
By lmolyneux, on October 7th, 2011% It’s Fra-eee-day, Fra-eee-day, people, and I gotta make my mind up, which seat do I take?
On the bus with me today:
-A tall bus driver with corn rows and a toothpick sticking out of his mouth. This is what NBA players are doing these days, I guess.
-A baby ‘fro. But he got the comb up in it, so it’s legit. Also, (fake?) diamond earrings.
Update: A second short Afro gets on the bus, with the same black . . . → Read More: On the bus: Fra-eeee-day
By bmolyneux, on September 8th, 2011% After an extended break, I bmolyneux, have recommitted to blogging. After discussion with lmolyneux, we have decided to repurpose the blog, shifting our focus from pure hilarity and awesomeness to center around our mutual struggle in our concurrent doctoral programs (mingled with hilarity and awesomeness). This will take a bit of effort on my part because as we speak my fingers yearn for comedy to burst from their tips, habit I guess. But for me (us) any writing is good . . . → Read More: Aaaaand we’re back!
By lmolyneux, on August 29th, 2011% It has come to my attention, through conversations with my colleagues and my own observations, that the girls here like to wear running shorts. Not just because it is hot and they need to stay cool, but because it is some sort of style here. I have begun collecting data to test the below hypothesis and will update this post as necessary.
H1: female students at the University of Texas exhibit a disproportionate preference for running shorts.

By lmolyneux, on August 19th, 2011% On the bus with me today:
- A tall skinny guy with a real bony walk who is either a vigorous painter or has rabies. He walked in with this white mess dribbled down his chin and I only realized it could be paint when I saw other paint splatters on his arm.
- A guy with brown skin wearing a brown shirt and brown shorts. The only reason I know he was dressed at all is I could . . . → Read More: On the bus: Friday noon
By lmolyneux, on July 27th, 2011% Moving wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t come with so many goodbyes. I mean, the packing and the work is just like any other work. It’s work, I hate it, I know. It has actually been refreshing in a way because we were able to get rid of a lot of junk AND get people to pay us money for it at a yard sale. What they didn’t realize is that we would have accepted just about any offer . . . → Read More: Goodbyes as relationship assessments
By lmolyneux, on June 30th, 2011% Today I hit 5 million points earned for Folding@Home. It’s a distributed computing project run by Stanford that is working to research how proteins work in diseases such as Alzheimer’s, ALS, Huntington’s, Parkinson’s disease, and many cancers. Proteins fold up in order to become a certain shape that allows them to perform specific functions in the body. And when they do not fold correctly, they can cause disease.
So whenever I’m not playing games on the graphics card and . . . → Read More: 5 Million

Before and after, using my hands and whatever rocks were available this Saturday morning. I should have been in the Army Corps of Engineers. One of my favorite parts was seeing the water trickle into the ground in one place and then bubbling up somewhere else.
