Winter behind us (almost); Spring to come...

At the start of winter I posted the following:

"On bitter cold days like this, with red, chilled cheeks, bundled bodies, and nights that are too dark and that come too soon, my mind reverts to the melted gold memories of summer. My heart yearns for those long, listless, grass-stained evenings. For barefoot, blessed walks to nowhere and for that clever and lasting warmth."

It's been a looooong winter, but Spring is emerging and fighting it's last battles with Bitter Winter (one is raging outside right now with a spring snow storm). I am so excited for the noncontroversial months ahead.

Also, this is really wonderful:

Awesome (nerd) Alert...

Here's the story folks:

Have you ever done research where you have 37 academic articles open in different PDF windows, then you try to find one and you loose three in the process? 

Well, Carol Ann showed me THE SOLUTION!

One window that organizes all of the documents you are using. Plus, when you put the documents into the program it downloads it to the internet and allows you to access it anywhere and share it with your research group... AWESOME.

It is called MENDELEY. Use it.

This makes my nerdy research self all warm inside.
