Hey! I'm almost finished with the first year of college, studying mathematics, and am hoping to get on a couple of cool summer schools around Europe during the summer related to my interests! I really enjoy anything sciencey, including but not limited to physics, chemistry, biology, psychology, etc. and I'm also really big on philosophy! I'm currently doing nothing but studying for finals, but when I have time I'm working on a couple of projects involving micro controllers and sound synthesis. I'm also trying to write a small book, but that's been going on for about a year.. Oh and I have a deep and emotional attachment to beer. I looove beer. If I'm not studying for finals and it's past 6 p.m. I'll definitely have a beer in my hand, and a couple in my stomach.
If you like beer, you'll get on well here. What are your favorite brews/companies? insomniasexx and I were just up in Portland for my sister's baby shower and it seemed like pretty much every restaurant had beers brewed especially for it.
Hey, that's awesome! I've never been to the states, sadly. Unfortunately, I live in a country where, although the beer culture is big, the diversity is not. We have two biiig national brands (Sagres and Super-Bock) and that's all we pretty much drink in terms of beer. I'm not complaining, they're actually quite good but I do miss the diversity.. I spent a month travelling around Europe and I got to try soooo many different beers!
Where do you live? I feel like I should send you beer variety, being deprived of choice sucks.
That's sweet. insomniasexx informed me it's illegal to ship booze :(, so my scheme was cut short.
"Live yeast cultures" are perfectly acceptable, though ;-)
Philosophical concepts made easy. I used the gimmicks of teleportation and cloning to explain and point out several problems with our notion of self, persistance, and even conscience without it getting too technical and/or heavy. It's quite basic for anyone with an actual interest in philosophy but my objective was to get people out there interested in a subject they might not otherwise be.
