N. Salina Algae Growth | 088

January 27, 2012

N. salina algae (Nannochloropsis) is being grown in this 2L flask for tests on electroflotation (algae floating to the top of the water) and electrocoagulation (algae sinking to the bottom of the water). These tests are new methods in harvesting, or removal of, the algae from the water for bio-oil production.

Wind Damage | 086

Taking the backroads from my morning Fuego taco run, I encountered the side of a building falling down by Barnes & Noble. I had already seen two trees go down and maneuvered around other debris. Quite a morning on the way to Scoates Hall.

The temptation to eat all of these chocolate chip cookies in one sitting is very strong this evening. It shall take one of strong will to resist.

The Civil Wars @ Cullen Theater | 081

January 20, 2012

The Civil Wars played a wonderful show at the Cullen Theater in Houston. Favorite song of the show was their cover of the Smashing Pumpkin's "Disarm" and closing with Michael Jackson's "Billy Jean." John Paul and Joy's onstage chemistry is amazing. I highly recommend seeing them if the opportunity arises
