  1. Listening to "Giant Steps" in an attempt to get my synapses firing.
  2. Enough computer. I think I'm going to read a book.
  3. @nikete I haven't used it myself but is this the type of things you're looking for? http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~...
  4. @DrMathochist I just started "Infinite Jest" myself. How far in are you?
  5. Survey article on "Topology and Data" in the Bulletin of the AMS: http://bit.ly/WrFFM
  6. @lemire Are you worried she may run up a Visa bill like this one? http://bit.ly/3uFrZ4
  7. @lemire Coffee o'clock is just after the cravings and just before the last drop has been drunk.
  8. Bad night's sleep last night so it is now well past coffee o'clock.
  9. My site's design gets a mention on Minima: http://bit.ly/3yiHqH . Thanks @al3x !
  10. New blog post: "Online (Machine) Learning in Clojure": http://bit.ly/16SESp

  12. 'Vague Scientist' magazine: "Language comes from monkeys eating nits of other monkeys" http://bit.ly/164TCT (via @missnae)
  13. @geomblog "... but not entirely." You mean I don't have to make it seem interesting? ;)
  14. Mathematics is the art of stringing together tautologies and making it seem interesting.
  15. Too much reading, not enough writing! #selfflagellation
  16. @nigelkersten Tom Cruise doesn't strike me as the brightest spark so that's not so surprising.
  17. @gappy3000 I'm partial to Clojure due to its terseness and the JVM but if you want mind-expanding functional programming, go with Haskell.
  18. Gehm's Corollary to Clarke's Third Law: "Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced."
  19. Amazed at the email I receive at my GMail address. It seems there are other Mark Reid's who don't realise markreid isn't their user name.
  20. Math-heavy papers written in Word are just wrong. My eyes! My eyes!
