Ooh, very complicated. I actually haven't played too much with transistors or inductors much, but hopefully I'll get into those eventually. That'll be really helpful. You can learn new ways to play the electric guitar to get the sound you're looking for. I'm sure there's a lot of acoustic physics and engineering that you'll find helpful.
I'm worried I might be going down the rabbithole here but I'll learn something for sure. I have a tiny breadboard, if this goes well I may have to upgrade.

Lol. Sometimes electrical engineering can trap you in when you're trying so many options of fixing something. Maybe you'll learn how to make PCBs or something.
That's a good idea. Speaking of sorting, I've been thinking about making an automated LEGO sorting machine for a while now. Maybe I'll learn how to get a camera to recognize all kinds of LEGO bricks and a machine to put them into different bins so that I can spend more time building.
That makes sense. Were a lot of people on MLN even before it was announced it was going to close, or did it just get empty overtime?
Good plan. Is PhD and Masters two separate programs where you are? For me, I'm in the Masters program, but if I wanted to I think I can do a PhD just by taking more classes and doing a dissertation for another year or two.
Ah, I totally understand. I suppose you'll have to look at your parts inventory to see what kind of parts you have and see where the best place would be for those parts. I guess another way to sort would be to sort by usability. Perhaps the pieces you don't use often or find harder to implement in MOCs could be in a bin that you don't mind being mixed around with other parts. Good luck, and I hope it goes well.
The only weird idea I have like that is to get a PDF or spreadsheet of all the types of bricks, then number them and number my bags accordingly so I have everything in order as it relates to a sort of catalog
I think MLN was dying out even in 2010 when I played? It was kind of terrible so I don't think a whole lot of people really went through all the ranks in the first place.
And that depends on the school and the major. For most of the Ivy League math programs, I think they just have PhD, so I'd be applying to them for PhD then to other schools for masters as a backup. I think at most schools if you're doing well in the masters program you can apply to PhD and will usually get accepted. At my current university, which does not have an exceedingly high ranked math program (I did not matriculate here for math ) I think you're basically guaranteed a spot in the masters program if you did undergrad there. I might be able to get advanced credits I did in undergrad to roll over to a masters program and also qualify for no tuition due to my undergrad GPA, so if I get rejected from the PhDs I apply to that might be my most economical option. However, I really want to go to another school
That's not a bad idea, really. But it's often hard to determine what's bad and what's good, as I would like to be able to use a variety of weird pieces in my builds.

That's not a bad way to do it. It's like the hardware store where they have catalogs of screws, nuts, and bolts.
Hmm. Interesting. Me and my friend played MLN for a few weeks before we started getting busy with other things. Even then, we used a guide to get us through. I suppose MLN was more like a puzzle game than a network.
Ah, I see. That makes a lot of sense. I hope your plan for a PhD goes well, or whatever plan you have if PhD doesn't work out. It'll be nice to go to a different school for the Masters or PhD program. I also went to a different school since I didn't want to stay in my old college anymore.
Right. A lot of creativity can come from different kinds of pieces. I have a lot of my Bionicle pieces in one place since I don't build much Bionicle-like models (and since I don't have much Bionicle pieces anyway)
Yeah. I think once we had a baby coyote that stumbled into our backyard.
Oh goodness what happened? Have you ever heard coyote packs competing?
I have no idea. We woke up one morning, went to eat breakfast and saw a baby coyote in the backyard. I've actually never heard of coyote packs competing, but it sounds scary. I think we had to call animal control because we didn't know how to approach it, but I'm sure it took care of it and put it back in the wild where it belongs.
You? 
I'm ok. Getting ready to move. 
I suppose someone gets it anyway.
