Let’s make it 4 in 9 years
The McDonald’s “Filet O’ Fish” commercial is hilarious. And cheap to make. Perhaps the marketing gurus who came up with it got a hefty fee. It’s just two fish sandwiches sitting there in boxes, lettuce behind one and tomatoes behind … Continue reading
Will I fall into the same old traps / grind?
I talk to my parents too little.
New York: Day 17 / Madison
From Madison Ave. and Madison Square Garden to Madison. I made a mistake — the 12th, not the 13th, is/was my return date … I’m glad I figured that out before I missed my flight.
New York: Day 16

Another day, another prime number. When I was a math undergrad prime numbers were among my favorite recreational math interests, perhaps due to all the prime-related work we did under Shahriari … number theory, combinatorics, you name it. The distribution … Continue reading
New York: Day 10
Ten days already? Impressive. And about a week to go; I fly home next Wednesday. Today was the American Museum of Natural History, an institution I know primarily from Preston and Child’s Relic … a mediocre book (at best) and … Continue reading
