Updates Abound

Not much to report at the moment. Just a lot of getting over being sick going on here. Seems like everyone I know's sick. Family members are sick, friends are sick, I'm sick. Guess it's that time of the year though.

Been digging into Descartes Mediations on First Philosophy again. I didn't really give it the treatment it deserved on the first go around. I'm a little more familiar with the context used to deliver the premise of the work. It didn't really occur to me the first time (this being a time in which a professor is telling me *how* to read rather than *why* to read) that it's really just a mathematical treatment of the question of the almighty. I think after so many theoretical CS classes, this method of breaking things down to the fundamentals and then building a case around just those indivisible pieces will be much clearer to me. I may not necessarily agree with the end result, but I find it hard to believe that many have grounds to pose any clearer an argument. Should be good.
