No, seriously. I got an e-mail today from UTIAS indicating that three resident professors had requested interviews with me for a Master’s degree program. I have to contact them within the week to set up interviews via phone or in person (the latter is more likely, since it’s only about an hour from Peterborough to [...]

I have been getting many questions regarding our aircraft, the KS-77 Vermillion, as to the direction of flight. It seems most of you think it is flying backwards. Well, it’s not. The KS-77 does indeed fly forward, although I think I know where all the confusion is coming from. You see, the directionality of nearly [...]

I tried several times over the past week and a half to write a post but have had trouble finding the time. Last Friday (April 4th) I had a thesis draft due. This involved staying up all night on Thursday to get as much done as I could. Although my final progress wasn’t as far [...]

As I am sure many of you know, today marks the effort of Earth Hour, a day when people all across the world will turn out their lights for one hour, from 8:00pm to 9:00pm in their local time zone. I modified the theme a little bit to show my support for the effort (although [...]

Note that if you want to know why today has been a really terrible day, scroll down to the bottom of this page. Everything else is just the icing on the cake. Today has been a hell of a day and is definitely up there as one of the worst days in recent memory. I kicked [...]

Just something I wrote a few minutes ago that gave me lulz; if you don’t know what this is from, A) shame on you! B) click here for one of the greatest books of all time. I must not take Engineering Science. Engineering Science is the mind-killer. Engineering Science is the little-death that brings total obliteration. [...]

I must not like the idea of getting back to school since I seem to have a tendency to write long posts on Sunday afternoons. It’s a gloriously sunny day today, if a little cold at a few degrees below zero. The wind doesn’t help matters too much, but it is still nice in the [...]

I have begun the initial steps of preparing my 4th year undergraduate thesis. I have chosen to write my thesis in LaTeX2e because of the simplicity of writing large amounts of mathematical equations as well as the superior layout capabilities offered by the TeX typesetting system. This leaves two problems. The first is “how should my [...]

Due to the badness of someone else, we currently have 2 excess Skule Night tickets for March 15th (Saturday). If you are interested, please e-mail me and let me know.

It is Sunday night here in Toronto, and I’m trying my hardest to avoid schoolwork. I’ve a thesis meeting tomorrow morning and a midterm (in Aeroelasticity) on Tuesday. Since theses are due (I believe) on April 11th, this leaves me about a month to work on it. In that time I need to Pick a [...]
