A warning

Ah, the follies of youth! As I prepared for my day I looked to the outside and thought, "it appears cloudy but so it also looked yesterday, and that day was quite hot. I will not need my coat. Instead I will celebrate a beautiful day in May.". So did I dress accordingly, in garb appropriate for a warm day. Foolish was I to not remember that the weather of Portland in Spring is wanton and cruel to the unwary, luring them outdoors with promises of sunshine and then rendering them waterlogged. Ah, the follies of youth, that I fell for her cruel trap.

A Video for Thought

I watched this video in class yesterday and I found the first few minutes where the speaker talks about the brain to be some of the most moving descriptions of the complexity of the human brain I have ever heard. The last two or so minutes where she draws her conclusions I would disagree with her at a philosophical level. All the same it is quite fascinating.
