(WIP) Scrambled Eggs with a side of CS

THIS IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO FINISHED!

Okay, let’s get a few things straight right now:

1. I was not a CS major (originally). I just decided to double-major (to test my pain tolerance) junior spring.
2. This isn’t an opinion piece where I rant about the pros/cons of a CS degree. But it’s worth noting that I am amazed at how much I use what I learned in my classes each day at work. Granted, I specifically chose the “hard skills” pathway of low-level computer engineering. And I still got my fair share of liberal arts! (Truthfully, I always tell people to study Physics for the flexibility.)
3. This is a reference guide for the one piece I really missed in college. But it’s easy to learn if someone would just explain it clearly. I’ll try my best to do just that.

Gone fishing.

You may have noticed—who am I kidding? You may not have noticed, but I have pared down the blog posts that are live on this site. It’s not a follow-on to my last post, now lost to the void. I just have some (projected) extra traffic to the website, and I’d prefer to have a smaller tree.

Font Selection

In academia, you often find many peculiarities—many quirks reserved only for those who sit in the proverbial “ivory towers.” Examples include the professorial attire (tweed blazers), fear of supporting the unknown as it may jeopardize future tenure or acceptance of scholarly writing into journals gate-kept by the powers that be, poorly documented scientific code, orotund articles mired with periphrastic, tautological, jargon-laden gibberish. (Okay, I concede that the last three are not necessarily exclusive to academia, but they’re idiosyncratic, nonetheless.)
