• Who am I?

    I am Qrystal; or at least, that's my dot-name! Har har. (My name is really Crystal, but that's not as internet-searchable; hence, switching the C for the little-used letter Q.)

    I am here because I enjoy writing. I do this mostly for myself, but I also have a passion for helping others learn things from the things I write. Now that I am done my Ph.D. in Physics, I am stepping away from academic research so that I can indulge in some creative ways to share my knowledge and inspire the appreciation of scientific thinking in others. I am also working as a tutor, which is one of the jobs I've most enjoyed doing in my life so far.

    A Buddhist monk, visiting New York City for the first time in twenty years, walked up to a hot dog vendor, handed him a twenty dollar bill, and said, “Make me one with everything.” The vendor pocketed the money, and handed the Buddhist monk his hot dog. The monk, after waiting for a moment, asked for his change. The vendor looked at him and said, “Change comes from within.” With a wistful smile, the monk walked away.

    Jokes – Make Me One with Everything – ArcaMax Publishing

    I have been signed up for this jokes mailing list for a few weeks now, and haven’t felt annoyed by it, which is surely a good thing. There’s a bunch of big-name, Saturday newspaper insert-type comics available at their site too, which is pretty awesome.

    This particular joke has made me giggle in the past, and made me giggle again this morning when I saw it in my mailbox. Good start to a good day? We’ll see!
