What did I do today?
Gosh, it's the end of the day and I feel like I have been very busy all day long but I cannot remember what I did... Ummm... I know I did do something! Sent my advisor a new draft of my past and present research. I went to a lunch talk where I heard about the new SDSS - After SDSS 2. Wow! 1.5 milion galaxies to z=0.7, 100,000 quasars at z>2, planets and 100,000 stars in the galaxy. Some impressive instrument projects too - an infrared multi-object spectrograph and an optical spectrograph with 1000 fibers. These guys know what they are doing. Sloan Digital Sky Survey has been groundbreaking in so many ways scientifically. It also started the "big survey" phenomenon in astronomy as an extremely productive scientific collaboration. I really need to read some papers now instead of watching "The Curse of the Golden Flower". PAPERS!
