My day, in a few short blobs

[stariel]

Today in lab I made a new program on the robot, and used it to set up a few plates. I realized a while ago that most of my LJ friends are not scientists, and probably don't have all that great of an idea of what we scientists do all day. You may remember the "one dot, two dots" post. Some of you may even think you have a cooler job than I do... but do you have a robot?

Here it is in action:



I went to dinner seminar at 6 and did some knitting afterwards with the school-knitting-girls. I even finished the multidirectional scarf, which I posted about in the kitties and knitting post. I'm so accomplished!

And, on my way home, I saw something quite strange. At the intersection of two fairly busy streets a few blocks down from my house I saw a traffic light with the red light and the green light on at the same time! That was odd. I've never seen it before!

Also, not today but still important, I saw Mirrormask yesterday. For those of you who don't know, it's a movie written by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean and directed by Dave McKean. It was really good! Visually it was really stunning and beautiful, especially for the very low budget. The storyline was also very interesting and fairy tale-like in it's quest. I won't say any more because I hate it when people post lots of spoilers. Anyway, suffice it to say it was a very good movie and you should see it if you can.

Hopefully I'll see Serenity this weekend, because I really need to do that.
