THE JO-TEL is going to drink its way to Dover

If I can get off of my ass and initiate the graduate school application process, I’m going to, well, go to graduate school. I’ve been thinking about what I should study while there. This morning was a particular morning of thinking as I was up early, had a large coffee seeping into my blood […]

Last night Shannon and I attended the San Francisco Opera’s interpretation of Das Rheingold, an opera written by Nietzche’s Favorite, Wagner (update: so perhaps its a bit glib for me to say Wagner was Nietzche’s favorite, as loyal Jo-Tel readers know that Nietzche’s relationship with the composer is complicated).
True to rigid German form, the Opera […]

Last night was the 15th anniversary of a local German restaurant, Suppenküche. As German restaurants go, Suppenküche has a great beer selection. As anniversaries go, the beer selection was heavily discounted (I currently have a very cheap hangover). To make things even better, the bartender is a friend of ours. Shark, […]

Thank you, Deepa, for the photo on the spot.

See you monday

Yes, even we at the Jo-Tel clean every once in a while. Sometimes, we'll let the maid go home early and we'll get our hands dirty and do things that normal everyday people do, like "Going to Work", and "Eating Yummy Carbs", and in this case "Cleaning out the Refrigerator".
 

Somewhere in the midst of a 102 degree temperature, a splitting headache, and chills there exists a happy place. Let me describe this place for you. As you sink into your mattress and lie motionless for a few minutes, your body, at a higher temperature than usual, will heat up the air beneath […]

 
 
WHAT!!! Too soon?
Update: In my effort to make light of Shark's posting, I forgot that there is actually something I wanted to post:
The best science blog shouldn't be awarded for political reasons.  Vote Bad Astronomy best science blog.  Its really fun to read, it exists for the pleasure of science itself.  I think that this […]

I grew up watching Bay Area Back Roads. Now it appears that they Doug Mconnel has a website up. In my post post college age, I’m looking for more and more activities that don’t involve late nights I don’t remember at bars. Perhaps delving into some of the West Coasts hidden […]
