Sigh.... I almost wasn't sure if I should write another 'countdown' post on my thesis after last week. I was seriously thinking about quitting.
I found out that I won't be able to graduate this quarter, AND later that same day, I crashed the file server that all my data is on. The file server was back up and running later that night but some of my data got corrupted. I have to regenerate all my features which I estimate will take me at least a week.
In other news, which I happen to find less depressing than talking about my thesis..... Great Depression 09! Is it coming? Is it just hype?
What I am finding interesting right now is that peak oil types and mainstream media are starting to converge on some similar topics, although perhaps for slightly different reasons. The following two stories are both very interesting, and both talk about suburbanites growing their own food.
What would a modern depression look like? <-- h/t @ Marginal Revolution.

i can finally access your blog again...what?!? yikes....will be on skype a lot these days...talk to you soon.
I'm already growing scallion and cilantro in my living room. Maybe I'll grow kale next year. :)
Cecily do you have one of those aero garden things? One of my friends has one that grows little tomatoes, it's pretty sweet.
No, I have conventional planter with potting soil. My mom gave me the seeds. It's good overall but there are little fruit flies that use the pot as habitat, kind annoying cus they fly around in the house. I'll try to grow kale in the yard in the spring. It's pretty hardy and tastes good in soups!
