  1. @charltonbrooker Dear Mr. Brooker. The first "Dark Mirror" is the best hour of television I've seen this year. Thank you. Thank you.
  2. Nice looking survey on the Weil-Petersson volume on hyperbolic curves: http://arxiv.org/abs/1103.4674
  3. @dafknet Hi! Did you just post a picture of a guy on a deck chair in front of soldiers on 9gag? I'd really like to find a copy in good res.
  4. I just spend my sunday typing up notes from an old lecture on Kahler geometry. Link here: http://tinyurl.com/24447a6
  5. I just found a three year old forum post by me that solved a problem I had today. The lesson: Document your solutions, and share them.
  6. I think me and another guy at work just proved something new over drinks at work (i.e. I think what we proved is new). That's pretty cool.
  7. As a teacher, I feed on children's tears. I've got a feeling my midterm later today will make me stronger. Much stronger.
  8. A couple of cups of coffee in the morning and then a plate of ravioles for dinner constitutes a healthy daily diet, right?
  9. I just had a minor work fuckup when I just assumed this guys name at the lab was Marco, because he's Italian and they're all called Marco.
  10. The Mexican girl I'm dating calls me "guero". I love it.
  11. I have classified S-vector spaces up to isomorphism. Now for morphisms between them. (This is an utter and complete waste of time.)
  12. @bjorgvinben I'll put Danish on my resumé until the day I die.
  13. I have defined the category of S-vector spaces, the study of which reduces to usual vector spaces if S=0. I am a bad, bad man.
  14. I'm taking a post-lunch hour to work on my pet project: Basic linear algebra made as incomprehensible as possible by abstract nonsense.
  15. I'm starting Spanish lessons tonight. In two years I'll be that guy you know that speaks 5 languages and has a PhD in pure mathematics.
  16. Grading homework is both gratingly tiring and slightly rewarding. I'm beat, but somewhat ok.
  17. I don't do walks of shame, but struts of awesomeness.
  18. I actually lol-ed at work today when I found that complex structures on R^2 are given by traceless 2x2 matrices J with det(J)=1. #nerdalert
  19. @bjorgvinben I know it's not new, but have you seen this already? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNzrwh2Z2hQ
  20. @bjorgvinben I wish my dreams were run by Robert De Niro.
