What a mess! I really need to clean up some.
Skulls. One of my ultimate discs.
Blue Monkey. My other ultimate disc.

My new Norfolk Island Pine. Haven't decided on a name for him yet.
A view from the walk in front of my apartment. See, the trees do change color in Southern California.
Another view from the front of my apartment.
A view from my apartment's balcony (out back). In the center you can barely make out the mountains through the haze.
More of the disappearing mountains.

A beautiful sweet gum tree on campus.
A view of the walk by Broad.
Trees along the walk by Broad.
They're all the same species, but they change color at different times. It's quite beautiful.

No clue what type of flowers these are, but they're really cool.

Reflections of the East face of the BI in the gene pool.
Ahh, my wonderfully cramped office, 056b BI. It's in the sub-basement, also known as "the dungeon", "azkaban", "prison", etc. Those windows on the right offer a view of our research group's two big Dell computer clusters.
My cube. I probably have more decorations in my cube than anyone else.
Another shot of my cube with more cartoons.
Look at all of that caffeine.
The homemade Superman logo from my 2004 "Clark Kent" Halloween costume. The window here looks into 056c BI, where several more members of my research group work.
I was leaving lab at about 8 AM on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and ran into Bert starting his day by running some HPLC columns. Which is worse? Leaving lab at 8 AM on a Saturday on a holiday weekend or just having gotten to lab?
