I am a nerd :)

All I want to do all day is lounge in a library and read and soak in information. I want to talk to professors all day long. This would be my ideal environment.

 

Awwwww.....I LOVE nerds.
And yes, it is an ideal environment. Well, close to ideal.
My ideal environment would be a hospital cafeteria, me at a table with all them doctors discussing medical stuff and drinking coffee...

 

i love talking to professors...not so much staying in a library all day...i need some interaction. i've tried the whole lounging in the library thing...i was going nuts

 

Go nerds!

 

knowledge is only a feeble attempt to measure the world

which is what you are

soak in yourself

 

hahaha! Okay welll, I need a little more than being in a library all day, but still...I just want to listen. To everything. Everything is interesting to me, I feel like a baby. Of course I have knowledge, but theres just so much.

 

Well of course. but theres something to be said for communication, inquiry, discussion....its so crucial to this world.

 

You should go back to college. Thats my opinion.
Or atleast learn another language.

 

Good looking nerds are the best types of people.

 

my eyes roll back into my head when i smell books. anytime i'm stressed or freaking out, i just have to walk into a library or used book store. new books don't smell right.

 

Will it turn your crank if I talk nerdy to ya?

 

probably. try it. i'll supervise.

 

I'd probably hang myself if I had to talk to college professors all day long.

I don't care to know what was Chaucer's favourite pair of underwear.

 

Yeah, most of them are so full of themselves. Which is annoying at times.
I cant stand all the huge egos...

 

Right now I'm in the process of setting up a graphics supercluster. I have around $1500 bucks suck into computer parts to which my friend and are are going to set up into a little supercomputer. It will rely heavily on graphics cards, as their much more efficient in graphics imaging, (intuitively) which is what we're going to use them for.

I'm going back to Odessa next week, and we're going to set this up. The pouint of this will to be to run something called folding at home. Folding at home is a distributed computing process to create graphic models of folds and misfolds in human proteins. Understanding the way these proteins fold and misfold willl help researchers see the exact causes of a lot of hereditary diseases. BSE, Arthritis, Parkinson's, and almost all hereditary cancers.

Essentially this project is a prayer for a cure for cancer. I recommend you all check it out.

Thats actually very interesting.
Graphic models of folds and misfolds in human proteins ? Now thats interesting !

 

Yep.

Plus, eventually you realize that they don't know shit. (other than the area they specialize at)... so never take anything a professor says as a fact unless it's an English professor talking about how HST's handwriting skewed with the more rum he drank due to his use of a certain ball-point pen.

 

That is indeed interesting Spence. I'll try to remember to check it out later... gotta get my ass up and go to class in a good 10 minutes.

 

I feel the same way, Cate. I could sit in a library all day long and just read! I want to create my own library in my home with endless amounts of information to be learned

I also love talking to professors and absorbing information from them. It's amazing what other people know and what you can learn from them!

 

You can all run it from your PC. Fight cancer while your sitting around reading collegehumor.

I know you pavel!
