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.

Gynecology?! That has got to be some nasty porn. And either I missed when you talked about gynecology in your blog, or Google's being weird again.
This was a search that hit my regular web page rather than my blog.
The explanation is actually simple: my father is an ObGyn doctor and I probably mentioned that at some point on one of my web pages. Combine that with my interest in role-playing games and the aconyrm of my name, and google seems to like it for this (though I haven't yet reconciled this with the fact that PageRank is link-based rather than text-based).
And, yes, I shudder to think of what this person wanted to find.
