I greatly fear that my King is dead, and if I want a crown I must go and hunt it for myself. -Rudyard Kipling "The Man Who Would Be King". Wednesday, September 30, 2009. Hard Problems at MSRI. I am here at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute for the northern California premier of Hard Problems, a documentary about the Math Olympiad.

It supplies the world with its nightmares now: the Kennedy assassination, Watergate, Vietnam. - J.G. Ballard. Life without industry is guilt, and industry without art is brutality. - John Ruskin. Under the Radar - Branscombe beach. This struck me as particularly Ballardian. From a Boing Boing post. Is one of the mos...

My freelance writing career is off to a slow start. this is the third time i've tried to reinvent my professional life, and somehow it always surprises me that i have to claw my way in from the bottom. of course it can't help that newspapers across the country are laying off journalists so the market must be particularly flooded at the moment.
