Although Halloween is tonight, by popular vote my #PHYS1308 requested I teach in costume tomorrow. Are they ready to become #KnightsOfRen? -

Arrived back in Dallas last night at 7pm, and was home by 8:30pm. Had a good night's sleep, and am now living in zombieland. -

It has been an amazing 2 weeks @CERN, but tomorrow I fly home to @profcooley and my patient @SMU #PHYS1308 students! https://t.co/cB7AHXnkG6 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/18350 -

@ghostdancer I consider all shell commands and regular expressions part of the magic of the operating system. Those who command its power are shellmages. We cast spells to solve problems no GUI can solve in finite time. :-) -

@clacke It is mostly an evisceration of string theory and the theorists that work on it. I don't disagree with some of his points - for instance, how funding is distributed among theoretical efforts - but it is also a bit dated now. Theorists move with the fashions - in a scientific sense, where the data lead - and today the Higgs Boson and its implications for near-term … -

Au revoir, proton running in 2016! See you again in 2017! Many thanks to the LHC for an incredible year. https://t.co/yX1uEBDdj1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/18296 -

Counting down (with a heavy heart) to the end of proton-proton running tonight. But looking forward to mining this immense data set for 2017! https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/18282 -

Grad student attempts to sneak quietly out of meeting. Catches backpack on lightswitch, turns on all lights in room. Lesson: avoid being so polite - it distracts from your purpose. :-) -

Akin to: âSome wizards, when confronted with a problem, think â^~I know, I'll use magic.â^TM Now they have 2 problems." I argue: only 4 n00bs.:-)
