Application time

[coeus559]

Well, I just heard about this community, and after spending a bit of time looking through some entries, I figured it wouldn't hurt to apply myself...

I was thinking the same thing.

Yes from me too

Yes. Frankly, I don't know where you came up with the time to type up this application. How do you like the book? If it's decent I might pick it up.

Well, currently, Brandeis is on break, because of Passover (which ends today), so our last class was April 2nd, and we start classes again tomorrow. Somehow, I managed to get a large amount of work done over break while still having time to relax, so today I've been just sittin' around at my computer, while many of my friends are frantically getting work done at the last minute.
And it's strange, since usually I'm such a procrastinator.

Oh, and the book. I'm just about done with it, and it's a really great book. I happened to pick it up one day at Barnes and Noble, and flipped through it. It's a good look at String theory and other theories leading up to it, without getting too complicated with math. I also got another book, "The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory" by Brian Greene at the same time, because it seemed interesting too, and I didn't really know much about string theory before I started reading. I'm going to read that one next, so I can't tell you anything about that one, yet.

I just have to ask, do you use plain Mozilla or do you use spiffy keen Mozilla Firefox?

[coeus559]

Currently I'm using just plain ol' Mozilla. I planned to go to Firefox when it came out, but I've been too lazy and too busy to get around to it. And yes, I'm aware the transition would be very quick, but laziness has won for now. :)

The best thing about my laziness is that I actually already downloaded that and it's been sitting on my desktop for weeks...

Yes

Great application. I really ought to pick up that Michio Kaku book and get deeper into the study of dimensions. Mostly just because I got into a big argument with someone not too long ago when I was helping someone else understand 2-D and 3-D animation with a practical discussion of dimensions as classifications of measurable information (in the case of those most tangible and applicable to animation: width, height, depth, time and energy) and this guy brings up that time and energy aren't the fourth and fifth dimension and that scientists are testing hypotheses about several other measurements in between and I basically had to cut things off before the kid I was originally trying to explain things to had an aneurism and died from an overload of useless information. Mostly it would just be a way to trump CG animators that get on my nerves, but that's enough of an excuse for intellectual growth right?
