I forgot to mention this earlier...

This is my current time-suck of choice. It's pretty funny in my opinion. I think partly because this dude is PhD in Engineering and makes good nerdy jokes (graph jokes are my faves! Seriously!) and partly because he is just standing awkwardly in the frame pointing to a random part of what he's written. A way to be a web comic when you can't draw. I admire the creativity there.

SIM update: My model runs to completion and is giving me reasonable results as far as I can tell. Life as we know it will continue. At least for now.
