Quickly scheming

Half an hour ago I investigated the possibility of writing a post on Lambda expressions, since the term has been popping up all over the place and it was something that I was curious about. After fifteen minutes, it became clear that I know nothing about functional programming and will have to learn Scheme or some equivalent in order to write with authority on the topic. Don Box seems to think that learning Scheme is worthwhile, however, and judging by the countless posts I am reading on the new language feature sets coming in C#, such knowledge will be useful in a couple of years. Therefore, ten minutes ago I decided to shelf the post and see if I could pick up Scheme over the course of the quarter as an extracurricular project. So basically this is a post on how I randomly find ways to make more work for myself.

If I wasn't so stupid I would be brilliant.
