About Me

Archibaldq
I'm in my fifth year at Rice University attempting a PhD in applied physics. Wish me luck. I have a tendency to get stupidly philosophical about things and can analyze them to death, but I'll try to keep it to a minimum on here. Who wants to read that crap, anyway? (Actually, who wants to read the rest of it?)
