“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Next Up

Ted Geier's Ph.D. qualifying oral. He aced the written part. Today is the day for the oral. I'll be skyping in to UC Davis from Rice.

On the whole, Skype has made my life teaching Ph.D students terribly easy. It means we can check in very regularly, which is a good thing. I'm not a micromanager but I do think that Ph.D. students need regular feedings.
