More hills near Petra

What can I say? I like hills.

Promissory note

Marie and I are going on a holiday to Jordan, leaving tomorrow, and there will (I’m sure) be many pictures to share from that. After this: more pictures from the magic kingdom.

Bob — exploring (intrepidly) so that you don’t have to.

My office desk

I love my articulated desk lamp. That is all.

The clock tower

The KFUPM clock tower as seen from the top of the mathematics building. Each hour the clock tower rings its bells; I often have to remind myself that this sound, incongruous with its surroundings, is not being made by the bells of the local church.

Khobar and the ocean

The view of Khobar (and, in the distance, the ocean where one might see Bahrain on a clear day) from the KFUPM campus.

The KFUPM oasis.

Happy birthday to Karl Barth

Karl Barth was born 123 years ago today. I am sure that he and Jesus are celebrating right now by listening to some Mozart together.

Things I would do if I weren’t so busy attempting to create a Ph.D. thesis ex nihilo by doing nothing other than concentrating really hard while furrowing my brow #45:

A comment

I hate it when people use `grow’ as a transitive verb. I aware of the fact that there’s technically nothing grammatically wrong about it but I still don’t like it. No sir, I don’t like it one bit.

That is all.

6 year Blogiversary

Bob Heffernan — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 11:36:05 +0000

I just noticed that, as of yesterday, I’ve been blogging for 6 years! On November 2nd 2003 I wrote my first post.

Crazy, eh?

I ended the post with the hope that “perhaps some of it [the content of my blog] will rise above the whitenoise of humdrum.”

Let’s make that the aim for the next 6 years also!
