Last night, after merely observing for the past couple of weeks, I played two songs at the Rex Theater's Open Mic Night in the South Side. They were:

• "La Cienega Just Smiled," by Ryan Adams
• "Yours and Mine," by Fountains of Wayne

The first song went okay, and got better towards the end, but since this was the first time I had done anything in front of

Well, if you spell it correctly as "exercise" you get 312 entries.

Then again, 15-312 is the awesome undergrad PL course, so maybe the system is still trying to tell you something....

Ah ha, okay so that is pretty bad on my part. BUT, I went back to verify that I spelled it correctly. I found that when I typed it in as 'exercise' I did get the 7 results I quote above, so I must be using a poor set of search settings (I do "exact" and "subject").

Also, those 312 results include in the first page such helpful entries as:
-Scientific uncertainty and the politics of whaling / Michael Heazle
and
-Beginning SQL server 2005 programming / Robert Viera

And also I just now got the 15-312 joke...

Also, searching for "weight training" yields one book apparently on the sociology of exercise, and a zillion books on training the weight matrices of neural nets.

PPPPPS, what instrument do you play?

Guitar and the Vocals! And I'm really getting back into the guitar... I had kind of been on extended break for about the past 2 years.
