  1. A genealogy: http://tumblr.com/xwn48o8fb
  2. Managed to travel all of two miles in the last hour. I could walk faster than this, SEPTA.
  3. And the waveform collapses to mild annoyance.
  4. We took off with Yanks—Angels still undecided. I’m a lame Schrödinger’s Cat: my waveform is a superposition of mild annoyance & mild relief.
  5. Score another one for the power of rhetoric.
  6. It’s a miracle: an email identified as spam by my school’s mail server was actually spam.
  7. @ekirtcheva NONZERO and PERSEPOLIS are excellent; haven’t read the others, but several look interesting.
  8. Don’t play the “count how many people are surreptitiously checking their iPhones” game in this line; you’ll never stop.
  9. Evening plans: string theory talk, then Monsters of Podcasting show. Determining the single nerdiest moment will be a real challenge.
  10. Apparent logic to having your CEO in your commercial: “I’m old, rich, and awkward, so you know our products must be great!” Huh?
  11. @openlyfeminist He’s a mathematician. The quote is from a talk I saw him give when I was in Rio.
  12. So far, my school’s junk mail filter has a perfect record: every email it’s flagged as spam hasn’t been.
  13. “So this is in some old paper of mine from the ’60s…anyway, it’s still true.” —Joseph Wolf
  14. S: “Is Brazil a developing country or is it third-world?” Me: “Well, it’s not developed and it’s not in Africa, so it must be developing.”
  15. Açaí + granola = delicious.
  16. ...and I'm off to Brazil. Save a caipirinha for me.
  17. @gruber prick, screw, snatch, taint
  18. @robertghrist Apparently yes: see second & third comments here: http://tr.im/sICU
  19. Walked more than 10 miles today. Apartment hunting sucks.
  20. 40 people in this room, only 3 of them women. Why did I decide to do math, again?
