About Me
- Mason
- I am a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at UCLA. Previously, I was Professor of Nonlinear and Complex Systems in the Mathematical Institute at University of Oxford. I was also a Tutorial Fellow in Somerville College. I am also a die-hard fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers. See my website for more information about me. You can also find me on Facebook and Twitter (@masonporter), though I'm much easier to stalk by other means. If you want power law or Zachary Karate Club swag, take a look at my Power Law Shop. I am also involved with the Legends of Caltech movie and co-edited Legends of Caltech III.

That's awesome, I totally want one. Cephalopods are so cool (though I prefer squid to octopi).
Saw a bunch of tables like that at an art gallery in Kona, HI when I was out there a few years back. Massively cool! In addition, the ones they had on display had bits of the octopi/dolphins/fishies/etcetcetc poking through the glass, which I thought was a particularly nice touch. It gave the impression of breaking through the surface while still being a nice, flat surface for a table.
