First, and probably most exciting, when I cracked open my egg as I was cooking breakfast, I was surprised to find <a href=\"http:\/\/www.madsci.org\/posts\/archives\/dec97\/879963549.Gb.r.html\">two yolks<\/a>!  In the same egg!  Astonishing!  I&#8217;ve heard this could happen, but had never actually witnessed it.  Apparently this was an instance of identical twin chickens.  Too bad I don&#8217;t eat yolks, or else I would have been in for a special treat.  <\/p>\n<p>Had a big presentation this morning.  I&#8217;m on a team that is designing a solution for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chi2005.org\/cfp\/student.html\">SIG CHI Student Design Competition<\/a>.  (SIG CHI is another acronym&#8230;it stands for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.acm.org\/sigchi\/\">Special  Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction<\/a>, and is part of the ACM, or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.acm.org\/\">Association for Computing Machinery<\/a>.)  We presented our initial design solution, and I think we got a fairly positive review.  However, there is still a lot of work to be done, so we definitely should not let this early success go to our heads.  After all, we&#8217;re competing not only against those at our school, but from schools around the world.<\/p>\n<p>As a reward for finishing the presentation E and I went to see <a href=\"http:\/\/disney.go.com\/disneypictures\/incredibles\/index.html\">The Incredibles<\/a>.  It is the best movie I&#8217;ve seen in a long while.  Outstanding plot, script, action, animation, humor.  Just fantastic.
