Mathematical skeleton. Big chilling with my homies. Bad at math and worse at physics. Geometry in all forms. Acolyte of the hypergeometric. Thinking about… it. A Lot. Aviation enjoyer. 我非常喜欢数学。

Love being able to make the decision to work from home and hang out with the dogs
Vertical picture of a semi-cluttered desk with computer and two monitors displaying a colorful geometric screensaver and knickknacks scattered about. There is an open laptop on the left and and a small open notebook with a yellow page and handwritten notes in the middle in front of a black keyboard. Various posters and art fills the wall behind.

The great liberal got up, cleared his throat, and said,

"Very interesting, Mr. Commissar, and in some respects very illuminating: but one point I didn't get too clearly. Will there be more money for research in physiology?"
From Peter Druckers 1978 Atlantic Article The Monster and the Lamb: Frankfurt was the first university the Nazis tackled, precisely because it was the most self-confidently liberal of major German universities, with a faculty that prided itself on its allegiance to scholarship, freedom of conscience, and democracy. The Nazis knew that control of Frankfurt University would mean control of German academia. And so did everyone at the university. Above all, Frankfurt had a science faculty distinguished both by its scholarship and by its liberal convictions; and outstanding among the Frankfurt scientists was a biochemist-physiologist of Nobel-Prize caliber and impeccable liberal credentials. When the appointment of a Nazi commissar was announced ... and every teacher and graduate assistant at the university was summoned to a faculty meeting to hear this new master, everybody knew that a trial of strength was at hand. I had never before attended a faculty meeting, but I did attend this one. The new Nazi commissar wasted no time on the amenities. He immediately announced that Jews would be forbidden to enter university premises and would be dismissed without salary on March 15; this was something that no one had thought possible despite the Nazis' loud antisemitism. Then he launched into a tirade of abuse, filth, and four-letter words such as had been heard rarely even in the barracks and never before in academia. ... [He] pointed his finger at one department chairman after another and said, "You either do what I tell you or we'll put you into a concentration camp." There There was silence when he finished; everybody waited for the distinguisher' biochemist-physiologist. The great liberal got up, cleared his throat, and said, "Very interesting, Mr. Commissar, and in some respects very illuminating: but one point I didn't get too clearly. Will there be more money for research in physiology?"

I started one at the beginning of covid in 2020, finished at the beginning of this calendar year. It is almost falling apart from dragging it around the world with me! Now i am on my second one. I also really enjoyed seeing my previous entries! Its amazing to see how things change one day at a time.
Two side by side one line a day journals. The one on the left light blue in color, and is battered and faded from five years of daily use and travel; the one on the right multicolored and is much fresher.

First cup of the day on the porch. Stayed up late thinking about Cartan geometries and am somewhat sad summer is coming to a close and people expect me to show up to work soon.
Porch selfie with an orange mug in front of my face. Surrounded by greenery and wearing sunglasses and a black shirt.

Very pretty visitor!
A butterfly with open wings on the ground. The colors range from dark blue to light blue from head to tail. The same butterfly on a green tree leaf with closed wings. The pale blue edges can be seen on the wings with orange spots framed in black on the inside.

A story about a cat named Pinhead
Pinhead is a tortoise shell cat sitting on a coffee table staring lovingly into an open can of blueberry cucumber lacroix, watching the bubbles. Her paws are placed together with tail over the top of them as she sits on her back legs. Concerned that Pinhead will knock over the can, someone has called her name. From the same position as before, she looks off to her left towards the voice scolding her. An arm reaches across, grabbing the can. Pinhead looks at the hand grabbing the can. From the same angle as the other photos, Pinhead sits on her haunches looking at the camera. She looks grumpy as the can has now been taken from her.

In the thick of it all really puts things in perspective
A silhouetted fishing boat crosses glassy clear Kotzebue Sound at 1:00am twilight. The clouds in the sky are ablaze in the glow of the recently set sun. Tugboat Aku approaching the dock in Kotzebue Sound during the day. An old weathered building with no paint and a broken vent. A bright yellow sign on the locked door reads “Congratulations Joyce Phagan New Owner” A beautiful older arctic dog named Jaxy sitting on the front steps on Front Street in Kotz. She is a good working dog that has lived a good but hard life.

2:00am twilight in the Arctic. A photo can’t possibly do it justice and there are seals poking their heads out of the water.
A twilight photo of Kotzebue Sound. The water is still as glass and the distant hills across the sound are framed in yellow orange glow accentuated by smoke from tundra fires in northern Alaska. The sky is almost gloaming blue.

Nice view of Denali from the jet this morning!
A clear view of Denali from the window of a plane at 34,000 ft. The winglets of the 737-800 are visible above the mountain which is cradled by scattered broken clouds at various altitudes.
