I think we should get together earlier in the week to start putting this stuff together. i know i'm free tuesday, wednesday, and friday. what about y'all motherfuckers?

I've started reading through wikipedia and thinking about single-sentence explanations and good illustrations for particle/wave, Huygens-Fresnel, light refraction and dispersion, raindrops, lenses, prisms, light and rainbows.

I'm unplanned wed/thu nights.
