De javu (or whatever)

I just started solving a problem for Ma 112a and had massive de javu for the second time in several minutes regarding the problem and solving it. I wonder if this happened before... 

LaTeX

I wonder if I should teach my future children to LaTeX their kindergarden homework rather than write it by hand...

Confusion

2 Kings 2:23-24

wtf, mate?

Back from travels, happy

I'm back from my travels. I'm exhausted. But I'm happy, so those things seem not to really matter.

I'm thinking of taking some time off Caltech to take care of myself.

Sometimes I actually feel and believe this quote hits life rather well.

En todo case, habia un solo tunel, oscuro y solitario: el mio.
-Ernesto Sabato

A month on a boat to explore my soul; I hope I find something I like.

Departing

I'm headed to Chile in just over 24 hours, and I'm not coming back until the first day of classes (Sept. 25th). I will have e-mail on a special account (so special I don't know what the address is yet) but I'll get all of my normal e-mail once I come back.

If you really need to contact me, ask around and find one of my friends who has the address.

Very exhausted from traveling to China and Japan =p
