I am currently a software engineer at Google, where as a member of the Android platform team I build frameworks and user interfaces.
The blog here at dsandler.org is mostly historical; you can find more recent posts on Google+.
I’d just like to point out that, for the seventh year running, the official Rice Undergraduate Orientation Week (O-Week) website uses my original text. (examples: Page 1: now, then; Page 2: now, then)
So there you go, my two great contributions to Rice: this and the Lab Report.
The West Coast & Alaska Tsunami Warning Center has issued a warning regarding possible tsunami activity resulting from this evening’s 7.0-Richter quake off the California coast. (Also: USGS link #2) However, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center is much more reserved with respect to other Pacific coastal areas. (Full texts after the jump, since it’s time sensitive)

Wait, wait. If a “murder” is an animal collective noun (in particular of crows), then does that mean the song title “A Murder Of One” is meant to suggest a group, a flock, consisting of just one person/bird/etc.? (Sort of like the old “army of one” motto, but, you know, poetic and stuff.) Because, you know, that Adam guy sure likes his crows. Update: Apparently I am the last to this particular zoolinguistic party.
