new attempt

After a complete failure to keep up with this blog (and multiple other blogging endeavors), I am starting again, again. I am currently backed up with an ungodly amount of procrastinated reading. On the order of 200 or so pages. Have concluded that reading is an extremely inefficient method of knowledge acquisition, or acquisition in general. Of all the organs in our body that are a method of inputting things to our brain, the eyes surely are the worst choice for reading.

1. We see many other things too, not just the things we read. Prime examples include: computer, computer, food, TV, computer, computer, computer. All of those things are either shinier or tastier.
2. Eyes are small balls enclosed in flaps of skin. Highly inefficient and slow, since this limits us to about a 1/4-sq-foot viewing area per instant.
3. Other reasons that I will not mention since the novelty of feeling insightful-ish and highly chic while writing in blog while sitting in cafe just wore off.

Will resolve self to reading about recent advances in antigen processing and presentation. Will think about how to ingest information via mouth.
