I like Hp50g's graphing capability. This was one problem where there were 4 maximas and saddle pts

Bipartite counting , thesis and other things

Its June 14 today and the school has started. I am not taking any class this semester so all my efforts are now concentrated on finishing my thesis. Today i had a meeting with Dr. Porter after that I came to Carbondale library to volunteer. It took almost 2 and half hr to get all the books. The good thing about the meeting with Dr. Porter was that I think I finally understood the labeled bipartite graph calculation. The thesis looks in a lot better shape with about 50 pages.

Party at Pomonna

This was the second time I went to Tom's party in Pomonna. Here are some pictures.

Today June 11, 2009

It's about 22 hrs and I just came to Morris library. Today I picked up few books from the library including "The next 50 years", A book on Infinity and a book on History of Japan. I met Austin today. Watched a bit of NBA basketball between Lakers and Magic. I still have no idea why in spite of 8 years of pleading, goading and threatening I am not able to convince my parents that Covey's book and Vipassana are essential to their well being. I try to put myself in their shoes and fathom what is the reason and I guess its their reluctance to embrace new thing. Kind of reminds me of Jonathan Livingston Seagull. I know I have discovered something invaluable and I want to share. Hopefully some day they will realize the profound effects that these two can bring until then I will keep trying.

Edward Gorey

Today I read this book by Edward Gorey. Its a bunch of short stories. Some are unsettling like "Loathsome Couple", "Stupid Joke", "Blue ". I guess he is more famous for his dark, melancholy writing. There are some which make little sense in what he was trying to convey like the story about one guy loosing his umbrella later to be found by his dog. I enjoyed the rhymes and his take on alphabets.

What I am reading ?

I am updating this from Morris Library. Today has been good so far. I ordered book "Back of the Napkin". I am reading few books including "Zero" by Seife, "Jimmy Corrigan: Smartest kid on Earth", "Darwin's Sacred Cause". I will post the reviews as I am done reading. I have now read numerous books on Darwin and this one is perhaps much different take.
