Something I learned recently... really? You couldn't be more vague could you plinky. The only challenging part about this particular topic is the number one. One thing I learned recently. I could list a hundred things easily but to narrow the list to one would require thought - and more importantly a worthy topic...
Thinking...
Nope I give up. I will provide two or three things I have learnt in the last week.
Ghetto angular data collection
Electro-magnetics makes my head spin. I know I know bad form for the electrical engineering student to admit this one. I had one of my friends explain our lesson the other day to me in such dumb terms I think I did something similar in grade 10 physics (and back then I was top of the class I feel inclined to add). It is very much a 'mighty have fallen' feeling for me. Not because I am full of myself simply because in the way of all high level students you come to rely on your ability to comprehend things... On a high note I can now do the right hand rule... that has to be something ;p. (I suppose that counts for a second thing I learnt)
That ethical theory is entertainingly ridiculous. One of those subjects that uni says you have to do but you don't want to do. I have learnt about utilitarianism (lets party hardy guys), Kantian Ethics (how would you like it if that happened to you?) and Virtue theory (be a good person (or simply think of a good person) to make good decisions)... There may have been more to it... but really I just like that different theories can give some ridiculous answers to some ethical dilemmas...
Sitting with the guy I have a hopeless crush on is just as exciting now as it was in high school. There isn't really much to this one. Except to say... I wish I was past these kinds of things but apparently I am not.
Onenote is useful for more than screen clippings. Seriously? I love having a touchscreen laptop. Best thing I accidentally bought on a whim and a lot more useful that some teach yourself spanish cds... Yes I know I need to control my spending sprees... Nevertheless... I don't get it out often but sometimes (and for obvious reasons) I need to use a computer without the procrastination tool that is internet. But I have had it out (the only copy I currently have of the physics text in electronic) and much fun to be had I must say lol... I think I still prefer post its though...
And finally, with direct and shameless reference to some of the other answers to this plinky question some people don't get better at telling you 'what they learnt today' with age. By that I am referring to the age old 'What did you learn at school today?' question that no child who is relatively normal will have an answer to. (Well small children do I guess regaling you with tales of playing with the blocks but then the question is more what did you DO today.)
To all those people still unable to decide something they learnt today... I learnt that such-and-such clique is true - I think in 90% of cases this is a lie... you may have reaffirmed the fact but really? you totally already knew that... If you want to do that at least make it entertaining. 'Today I learnt that toast doesn't land butter side up every time - however the ten second rule can always apply.' Gross but it would have made me smile (as a note I don't eat toast... or even bread very often and certainly not today).
