Fun stuff

Every web page should have some interesting tid-bits, and here is my modest list.

I named my computer "Buzoe" years ago when I read a charming story by a former Dartmouth Professor whose actions impacted the maps of Australia in the middle of the 20th century. You can read the story by clicking here.
In academics, our work is often reviewed by our peers. As a result, we occationally have to endure reviews of our work that are less than kind. For all of us who have had a bad review, we can take heart in that our reviews couldn't have been as sharp as the comments Mark Twain makes about a fellow American author reproduced here.
One of the big hurtles in graduate school are the qualifying exams. My first was quite an experience. It took a few years, but eventually it made for an amusing story I often shared with our graduate students. You can read it here.
