That's All, Folks!

My photoblog project is now done, so now my pictures will be part of regular photography and photo albums for the forseeable future. The the last entry, from 7/16/10 (I didn't post until now because I needed to return to Oxford to recharge my camera's battery) features three of my Somerville math students and me at the World Expo in Shanghai. And I think that it is absolutely awesome that I was able to hang out with 3 of my students in their home country of China! (One of them is actually from Shanghai, and she showed me around the "Ancient Town") near her parents' home.

I'll write more about the Expo later---maybe tonight. I also have a couple more Shanghai tidbits to share that I didn't get a chance to blog about for the past few days (because I was tired from doing them!).

The total number of photoblog entries was 367, so I went just beyond the promised 1 year. I hope you enjoyed this project as much as I did!

Garden Party

I had a garden party today.

The weather, the games, the banter, the desserts, and (most importantly!) the company were all wonderful. This is really the best way to spend a summer's day. (Well, I was actually extremely productive with my work until 5pm, and then the party started at 5pm---so both lots of work and lots of play today!)

For those of you back home, I hope that someday you'll be able to meet my friends in Oxford, but in the meantime you can see this photoblog picture that I took at the party.

I love my friends.

Whose idea was this?

As you can see in my latest photoblog entry, I come from a town that has placed a sculpture that is literally a steaming pile of crap in front of city hall. What the fuck?

(This has been there a couple of years, so I am a bit delayed in making this a photoblog entry.)

Behind the Water Curtain

Check out this picture! I love cool, water-induced visual effects.

'Saturday Catblogging' and 'Cheerleaders at a Physics Conference?'

As promised, here is some Saturday Catblogging (which I am only posting 3 days late). Also, registration for the March Meeting opened on Sunday---while a conference for (way too) young cheerleaders was still going on. I'm pretty sure that they were just as afraid of us as we were of them.

Demonstrating the Emergency Bra

Tonight I went to the Oxford show of the 2010 Ig Nobel UK tour, and I took this picture of the demonstration of the emergency bra.

I love the look on the guy's face...

Monday Catblogging

Gazebo isn't doing this anymore, so I feel like I need to pick up the slack.

Actually, I think that today's catblogging photo (once again featuring Pogo) is actually quite nice. (And I am using "quite" in the American sense rather than in the British sense.)

I think that maybe I'll have a Catblogging picture on Saturday. ;) Stay tuned.

Here is a picture of Pogo trying to keep warm.

Photoblog: Part 2

You can find picture 201 and beyond in Part 2 of my photoblog.

If you have a Facebook account, you know you want to be the first to comment on it. :)

Photoblog Entry 200

I just posted photoblog entry 200 today, which fills up the Facebook space for Photoblog 1. There is a limit of 200 entries per album, so Photoblog 2 (which starts tomorrow) will occupy a different album in Facebook. I haven't yet decided whether I will fill it completely or only with just enough entries for the photoblog to have lasted 1 full year.

Binary Trees

In case you were wondering, I have photographic proof that binary trees exist in real life. (Also notice Peet's Coffee in the background.)

I clearly haven't been domesticated.

Sometimes, a picture is worth a thousand words. Take a look at the latest entry in my photoblog. I'm "awesome".

Lecturing Pitfalls

Sometimes, one should use this term more literally than at other times.

Emergency Exit Fail

10/02/09: Emergency Exit Fail

This is one of the emergency exits on the second floor of Dartington House. It has been in this state at least since the first day that I started living in Oxford. (Actually, it used to be in much worse shape than this. Until recently, there was a bunch of 'do not pass' tape over the door.)

I wonder if I should submit this picture to the Fail Blog? Thoughts?

Nearest-Neighbor Coupling (aka: Best. Bathroom door sign. Ever.)

I think you're just going to have to look at the picture for this one. I approve!

The Elements

This is just an awesome taxi. (For an added bonus, take a look at the cab driver and the expression on his face.)

To see what other pictures have recently made the photoblog, take a look here.

Pictures from Wroclaw

Here are some pictures from Wroclaw.

Also, here is my photoblog in case you haven't looked at it in a while.

Photoblog!

As promised, I am starting a new photoblog now that I have a digital camera. (Props to Arcane Gazebo, from whom I shamelessly stole this idea. I believe he might have done the same thing, but anyway I got it from him. Perhaps he got it from Agnes?)

I am hosting these pictures on Facebook, but I have arranged the settings so that one does not need an account to view the pictures. (Let me know if this doesn't work.) The link for the first album in the photoblog is here.

Each Facebook album supposedly can hold 200 pictures, so I'll give you a new link once I get to picture 201. My plan is to post my "best" picture from each day. The basic requirement is that I have to take the picture, though I anticipate that there might be exceptional circumstances from time to tim in which there is a subsequent photographer. I will post one picture for each day. Thus far, I have only posted my 7/15/09 photo.
