About
My name is Colin. I am a graduate student working in the field of observational cosmology. Attentive-octopus is just a regular old personal blog, with a url chosen arbitrarily one day but cleared inspired by a documentary I had recently watched. The blog’s title and sub-title (Unfinished Projects: a partial catalog of things I haven’t gotten around to) are better descriptions of its subject matter.
Like any good blogger (I’m not a good blogger), I am reasonably well immersed in the whole Web 2.0 hooplah. In particular, you can judge me based on my eye for photography at Flickr, my musical tastes at last.fm or my book collection at LibraryThing. I host a radio show on whpk, a college and community station based at the University of Chicago.
Hmmm… I suppose that rounds out the list of things that I wanted to link to. I guess I’m done here. Fine work, as usual.
