  1. Walked more than 10 miles today. Apartment hunting sucks.
  2. 40 people in this room, only 3 of them women. Why did I decide to do math, again?
  3. “The rest of the proof is essentially trivial, so we write it with formulas to make it seem complicated.” — http://arxiv.org/abs/0810.0695
  4. Conspicuously absent from both game coverage and postgame show: a replay of the “foul” which led to Nowitzki’s icing free throws.
  5. Clear sign of Bennett Salvatore’s involvement in this game: following the final buzzer, both teams are completely irate.
  6. Why would you draft a running back when you’ve already signed two this offseason and your defense is atrocious?
  7. @neilmock Haven’t tried it, but I’ll take a look. You can also track my reading here: http://tr.im/shonkReading
  8. Note to self: driving to Long Island is apparently a popular Friday-afternoon activity.
  9. Oh, hello, job application stress. You were temporarily displaced by thesis-finishing stress, but I see you’re back in full force.
  10. It only took me 24 hours to come up with a clever response to someone (correctly) pointing out that a question I asked yesterday was stupid.
  11. You know those pompous jerks who make you call them *Doctor* So-and-so? That’s now an option for me. Please shoot me if I ever take it.
  12. Any suggestions for sub-$100 iPhone-compatible earphones? My V-Modas broke and I’m not sure I want to just get the same thing again.
  13. Weirdly, writing the “Background” chapter of my thesis is way more stressful than writing the chapters in which I prove my own theorems.
  14. Remind me not to agree to be on any committees in the future.
  15. I hereby declare war on the English Department.
  16. Seriously, English Department, is it really necessary to inflict 18 student letters on me?
  17. Reading this many letters of recommendation in a row is probably a serious risk to my mental health.
  18. Somewhat miffed to learn that I paid for Tumblrette 4 days before it was bought by Tumblr and, after a name change, re-released as freeware.
  19. Of course, the computations are more likely to work out if you try to solve an easier problem.
  20. @gruber I prefer the horizontal layout, but either way why not put Safari 3 in the middle? Would make comparisons b/w 4, tab 1 and 3 easier.
