will be visiting the big island and maui next week... wondering if any of you have advice for going there... i know i'm going to be looking for silversword plants! my mol/cell bio friend told me about how there are trees, shrubs, flowers, that all evolved from a single original silversword type.... and how the trees and shrubs can actually still mate with each other, so you get these half tree/ half shrub type things :)

anyways... any advice? at first i thought it was gonna just be fun in the sun, but then i realized that there's probably a sh!tload of flora and fauna that i'll never see anywhere else...

apparently it costs more for a roundtrip ticket from hawaii to the mainland (and back) than from the mainland to hawaii (and back)

random things you learn in college economics^^

You guys may have seen each other. Gopunk's a CS nerd, so he spends most of his time in Sieg (or so I gather).

Darein was a potential EE guy; he's at UH now.

mike pointed him out during one of the Halo events in McMahon. So I know what he looks like, but I remain evilly anonymous to him.

Hmm.... I wonder if it was Halo... I know there was a big screen set up, and it was after the renovations to the dining hall, so pretty recently. There was some sort of console game going on the screen, and people brought their comps down and were playing CS I think. Ah, the memories of sucking at CS with the AlphaQ'ers hahahaha.

If some goofy little dude asks you to go on a 3 hour tour, do it. I hear those are fun.
