And then we flew to Colorado to visit my parents and my sister (who gave us more presents), and then my parents took us on a train. It was ten degrees when we got off at Glenwood Springs, but we swam in the hot springs. When Ken and I got back to Minnesota, I tried out the bread machine he got me for Christmas on a deep dish pizza.

Now, normally self-publishing is a good way to lose money. And if someone else makes a lot money off of you in the process, then it's "vanity publishing," and it's a scam. But in this case, it's different. He's a blog that's maintained a high readership for the better part of a decade. And then consider this account. Place your orders here.

View from the Corner. Life through the eyes of a grad student. Sunday, November 23, 2008. And in general, get two scientists together and you'll have three opinions. But slowly and unsteadily, a consensus emerges, and the human race gets a little wiser. None of this is news anymore, but I wanted to recognize some really cool results that have come out recently. I also think it's worth talking about the fact that India's first unmanned lunar spacecraft has successfully entered orbit around the moon. The m...

View from the Corner. Life through the eyes of a grad student. Wednesday, April 08, 2009. Well, I did it. I passed my defense. It went well, with none of the awkwardness of my original proposal talk. I got a certificate that says I have completed all requirements for the PhD, and will be awarded a degree in June. Don't ask me the difference between a degree and a certificate that says I have completed all requirements. It seems like such a natural happily-ever-after point, after all my infinite anxiety, ...

View from the Corner. Life through the eyes of a grad student. Monday, December 22, 2008. Although Woody Allen's made a pretty good career out of it, come to think of it. Anyway, that leaves me with little to write about besides the Christmas movies we've watched so far this year: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. 1955), While You Were Sleeping. Three movies that manage to be sweet without being saccharine (okay, maybe While You Were Sleeping. Counts as saccharine.). And While You Were Sleeping.

View from the Corner. Life through the eyes of a grad student. Wednesday, February 11, 2009. It's no good to blog when I am too wrapped up in myself anyway, fretting about the future. (And by "future" I mean, this summer.) I need to be less reflective, not more. I am reading Starship Troopers to distract myself. And I'm not blogging much, as you can see. Ending Up in a Kind of Soundlessly Spinning Ethereal Void as We All Must. And a clip from an Orson Welles film ( F for Fake. Conclusions on the Wall.

But I've already booked a ticket to go back there next weekend by bus. A short post since I'm just back. I see via shimgray. That the marathon I just ran didn't actually work the way I thought it did. Apparently the "elite start" group is in a different race. According to a more recent Chicago Tribune Article.

View from the Corner. Life through the eyes of a grad student. Friday, November 21, 2008. It takes some work to express qualitative statements like "That leaf is yellow" in Math, but if we resort to less than or greater than signs, or even "approximately equal" signs, we can usually do it:. Here are some of the unwritten rules that come immediately to mind:. Letters from the beginning of the Roman alphabet - these are usually constants, especially if they are upper case. The symbols x, y, z, and t are re...
