Today...

I made chili and chicken stock.

I caulked around my window.

I worked out.

I learned what Brownian motion is.

I did dishes and laundry.

After about 24 cumulative hours of dicking around with atomic physics, I banged out a unit plan in under an hour. Apparently, this is how I work.

You can't build an infinite improbability drive without a good source of Brownian motion.

I knew I'd heard the phrase before. I'm sure elsewhere as well, of course.

I knew of it at a young age, because experiment #1 in every Porter Chemcraft chemistry set was a demonstration of Brownian motion. It involved floating a little piece of solid dye in a beaker of water and watching what happened. It was pretty cool.
