understand what's going on at seminar (read all 2 entries…)
Not going to happen. 16 months ago

I’ve tried to keep up with the studying, and came to the realization that will alone cannot drive a person to give a damn. And really the fundamental reason I don’t understand what’s going on at seminar is that in many cases I don’t care to. So it goes.

You know what you care about!

learn 2000 words (read all 2 entries…)
Small Pebble 23 months ago

I’ve continued reading the dictionary, tremendous nerd that I am. When I open the book I feel like every page is a treasure trove.

calculus n. A branch of math dealing with derivatives and integrals, based on the summation of infinitesimal differences. The beauty is the origin of the word – Latin “small pebble” – as in the stones used on an abacus. I like the thought of making those summations one calculus at a time. Also a medical term for kidney/gall stones.

nervure n. Entomology: each of the hollow veins forming the framework of an insect’s wings. Botany: the principal vein on a leaf. (note the small spaces between nervure are areola, from Latin “small open space”. I like this other, less-well-known meaning. It adds something nice to the commonly known meaning.)

soubriquet n. A person’s nickname.

I had forgotten about this! I’m so happy for the reminder. I had a star named after me in 2002. It was a valentines gift.
