http://angelasbackpages.blogspot.com/2013/01/of-elevens-and-pennies.html

8220;Ah, but I was so much older then; I’m younger than that now.” - My Back Pages, Bob Dylan. Saturday, January 12, 2013. Of Elevens and Pennies. My birthday falls on the 29. I also was vaguely aware that there was something called the 11:11 phenomenon. People all over the world claimed that they saw this number with unusual frequency. I thought it sounded a bit silly, but truth be known, since I regarded 11 as my personal number I was mildly miffed that I was not privy to this. There’s no point i...

http://angelasbackpages.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Survival guide to homelessness. Survival Guide to Homelessness. No matter where you go, there you are. Wednesday, May 23, 2012. I just got another long screed telling me that I must accept jesus or spend eternity in hell. Do you hear yourselves? Okay, look, save it for someone who wants saving, because I will never, under any circumstances, publish those comments. Here's a lovely film called Stairs to no end.

Abel Prize for Yakov Sinai. The strangest thing is that this is not the case with mathematical tools. A concept or method used to solve one mathematical problem often turns out to be just as useful in solving others that are completely different and seemingly unrelated. To give a simple example, the number. The base of the natural logarithms. Why do the same few numbers keep coming up in mathematics instead of different ones for every problem? It is even more surprising to pure mathematicians when theory...
