Mission in Thirty Seconds

With midterms rapidly approaching, and in the true spirit of college-studentship, I have procrastinated studying and uploaded a ton of pictures to my blog.  So have fun and try not to get lost in the Czech Republic!  Below is a 30-second recap of my mission for those too lazy to click on the link or watch the imbedded slide show :)

My Trip to the Czech Republic
I was so excited to be in the Missionary Training Center learning Czech!

Wow, Charles Bridge in Prague! Mission Impossible was filmed here!

It's gorgeous...
(not me)

What's that in the distance?

Some sort of communications tower with
What the...?!?

Babies!

Ahh...my new apartment...

                 
                   Time to learn how to cook.  
                                                      
I'm now an expert chef.

I learned quickly how to deal with strange companions...

And we had many memorable adventures together.

We worked hard and our unity grew.


Until we saw many baptisms.

And human bone cathedrals.

Then it was time to leave. 

I said goodbye to the land in which I had made my home and forgotten the English.
The flight wasn't bad for 23 hours.


My family was sure glad to see me! Or good at pretending.
I was glad to see them, too.

Updated Blog and Call to Action

Welcome to the new and improved Medium Harris blog! The fact that this blog is up and running again is evidence that there may be further updates.  These updates cannot be disclosed, but may include pictures from the Czech Republic, blogs submitted by email (woo-hoo!), and general rambling.

Today's complaint is not about Blogger, but rather about a glaring bias in the Blogger community.  After scouring the known internet in its entirety, I found 5 templates remotely related to the sciences.  It appears the market is inordinately skewed towards images of swirls, handicrafts, and adorable cartoon children.  In other words: The Arts. Unless we take a stand, we are doomed to a cyberspace full of culture rather than lasers and nebulæ.

Case in point: What can we learn from doilies and stamps?  On the other hand, scientists recently used slime mold growth to model the Tokyo rail system.  Researchers also confirmed my hypothesis that the benefits of making my bed do not outweigh the risks.

We must take a stand!
Step 1: Find me scientific templates
Step 2: Snorkel the animals...
