I'm looking at getting a PhM in the History of Science. To complete my quals I'll need to study German, French, or Russian. Opinions?

I was expecting a rather lighthearted April 1st. Instead, I now have no fewer than 4 projects whose deadlines are due in 3 hours. Eergh.

I found a manual for Los Alamos' first computer - MANIAC I. The coolest thing about it? It had 5 kb of RAM which it stored in 40 TV tubes.

I don't know how this reflects upon me as a historian, but there are some subjects I just can't research without becoming intolerably livid.

I recently had a strange dream where you had found out my real life address and started to send me (cool but unasked for) rp docs through physical letters in the mail

I'm immensely grateful to my management. Never had someone go to bat for me so hard on a work-related issue before. I feel a lot better!
