Off to New York

Again, I'm speaking tonight at SUNY-Purchase, aka Purchase College of the State University of New York. Then I'll be in New York for a couple of days, followed by Atlanta. Blogging could be a mite spotty, but I know you'll all bear with me.

It's nice to see you're coming back up to Amherst on April 20th! Hampshire College, my very own stomping ground! I look forward to meeting you again.

I hope you give a talk at my undergrad alma mater, SUNY Stony Brook, some day.

It's also where Marburger worked before he, uh, left the reality based community.

I bet that would burn.

Hey, I was at the lecture tonight at Suny Purchase( I'm the guy who asked you about preaching to the choir at the end :-) )

I thought it was very eye opening and thought provoking, and I really enjoyed it, thanks for coming!

Thanks for the comments. First, I'd love to talk at Stony Brook but have not yet received an invite. That's what really determines where I go--simple levels of interest.

I'm glad to be visiting Amherst again. It's a wonderful little pocket of science and intellectual activity, and a beautiful town. As for SUNY Purchase--I thought it went well. I tried out some new things with visuals, including using several slides to deliberately increase the humor factor, and that seems to have been very successful. I went home (er, back to my hotel) that night thinking it had been a great event. Huge crowd too, but then, it was something of a captive audience as hundreds of freshmen were required to attend.....
