Tomorrow I'll be leaving for sunny Baltimore, Maryland. Tuesday evening I will be speaking at Johns Hopkins about the mathematics of Sudoku. To judge from the advertisement, it looks like it will be quite the party!
Since its spring break around here, on Wednesday I will leave Baltimore to head over to Washington D.C. for a few days. I'll be seeing the National Symphony Orchestra perform on Thursday night, but that's as far as I've gotten plan-wise. See you when I return!

I have had a very, very good September.
I traveled across the country, and back, twice (with offset credits for my carbon). I gave fifteen speeches, to (I would guess) over a thousand people in total. At many of my stops I made new friends, or was able to get reacquainted with old ones. I even got…
Turns out I have a blog. Who knew! A combination of lack of time and, frankly, lack of enthusiasm have kept me from the blogosphere lately, but I thought I would poke my head up just to let y'all know I'm still here.
So let's see. I have a busy weekend on tap. Tomorrow is JMU's annual…
Time to get back to the classroom! Our spring semester starts tomorrow. This term I'll be teaching Calculus I and History of Math. I have a relatively light teaching load this term, as my reward for accepting a relatively heavy teaching load last term.
Things are going to be a bit hectic for me…
As regular readers of this blog know, many (if not most) of my "Photos of the Day" come from my regular trips to local zoos, primarily the Bronx and Philadelphia parks. I haven't been back to any of them since I got my new camera, but this summer I've got a few trips planned to replace some of my…
You may want to check the weather. And stock up on milk, bread and TP. People are crazy here when it snows.
Hey, I'll try to make it to your talk. I should be done teaching/operating whatever by then, and I'm right by Homewood. I'll buy you a drink.
Off topic --- i.e. evolution.
As always it’s all about perspective. Here we are, collections of atoms (identical to those that first organized themselves into living things lo these many years ago) discussing how the first atoms organized ourselves into living things & continue to reorganize ourselves (evolution). We (groups of atoms identical to those that first organized themselves into living things & continue to reorganize ourselves (evolution) till this day) seem to have a general understanding about how we continue to reorganize ourselves (evolution) but don’t seem to know how we first organized ourselves into living things or why. Very interesting situation.
Hope to see you tonight, if not kept away by the weather.
Just looked you up and found this Blog.
My evolution question de jour is: Yes, it is bad that the creationists are teaching falsehoods but has the adoption of that view otherwise actually hurt someone or the environment? Do you have specific documented instances? If you have dealt with this already please point me in the right direction. Thanks.
