• Who am I?

    I am Qrystal, a physics grad student who enjoys writing: for herself, or to help other people learn things. When I am done my degree, I'll finally be able to allow myself to start following my desire to write and tutor and spread my joy of understanding physics.

    Oh xkcd, you make me laugh so often, but it’s especially potent when the content is so timely.  Boo iphone, yay androids!

    Currently trying to resist, with all my might, going out and getting myself an htc hero. However, I can’t quite pin down why I’m resisting so much.  Am I afraid it will distract me from my work?  Maybe I need to set it as a reward for accomplishing something awesome, like… catching up in my marking.  Yeah.  That sounds good!

    OK better go get marking, then!

    UPDATE:  I got the htc hero on November 25, 2010. Yes, it distracted me, but I think it mostly distracted me from my other distractions.  My uber-distractability is what’s to blame for the distractions, not the device itself.  Oh, note that I am calling it a device, not a phone, because I probably only use the phone aspect 1% of the time.

    ALSO: There is more to this comic than meets the eye… you must go to the site to hover over the comic and read the punchline!
