I've gotten a lot of really positive feedback on this article so far. Maybe my column will catch on. I sure hope so. For some reason, I can't get links to my last two "This Week in Geek" stories on signal-online.net's search engine. I'll make more of an effort to make sure I get the links in here.

I will be visiting NYU next month to investigate their graduate program. They have one geared toward science and environmental reporting (which one of my professors, Kim Pearson, helped create). It seems like science writing is my destiny, at least for the moment.

I received my first pay check as a stringer today. I was surprised that The Daily Journal didn't take any money out for taxes, especially since almost a third of my last paycheck from them went towards it (that money was reimbursement for gas). So I guess I am now officially OFFICIALLY a freelance journalist! Though I've kind of already been a freelance journalist since I started reporting for Lee's Toy Review when I was 14. Except now I'm making REAL money!

Well, "Lost" comes on in 10 minutes, so I'm not missing that anytime soon.
