Bullet points.

What is going on:
  • I am all tied up with math homework today. Posting resumes after tomorrow's midterm and the walk through the autumn forest that I've been meaning to take.
  • The end of election season makes it harder to find a focus for these entries. For the past year or so, questions about government, philosophy, religion, and culture just hung there like delicious apples. But now the harvest has come, and I'm out in the woods searching for berries and (if I'm lucky) truffles.
  • I'll be guest-blogging at John Schwenkler's Upturned Earth, starting on Wednesday. Should be fun, as I already like the other co-guest-bloggers.
  • John Derbyshire's Prime Obsession is the best book-about-math-for-people-who-are-not-mathematicians that I've ever read.
  • You guys should see the leaves down here. Really.
OK, that's it. Back to math.

Question: Have you read "More Information Than You Need" yet?

I'm not sure what you are talking about. I haven't heard of any book by that name.

I have, however, heard of More Information Than You REQUIRE, by John K. Hodgman, a writer, minor television personality, and former professional literary agent. In fact, I have read the book thoroughly, paying particular attention to the sections on fame and alien abductions.

Have you read it?

You're impossible. And yes.
