Reading Matt Yglesias is reminding me of my mad dash to finish my thesis this time last year. At Lenstra's Treurfeest (mourning-party) I ran into William Stein and he couldn't quite place me at first beyond knowing me from harvard and I mentioned that he'd read my thesis and he said "Oh yeah, you wrote the really long one..." For which I then had to apologize once again...

Apparently the rediulcousness of my hair right now makes me a little difficult to recognize, need to cut it again...
