Great that the city council’s illustration of ‘amazing places to stretch your legs’ shows the reality of walking with a pram in the city: cars entirely blocking the pavement because the council won’t do anything about it

Twin moon halos at 22° and 44° seen now from my garden. The halos are moonlight refracted and reflected through still, floating ice crystals in the stratosphere (it’s -1C on the ground and still) And to the right of the full moon, Jupiter.

I don’t know if it’s obvious or not but the most useful to my physics work is probably the Lindblad master equation for open quantum systems.

A big part of my work in recent years has been on probabilistic detection of changes and anomalies in multivariate time series. For the past 52 days I’ve mostly been living in a neonatal intensive care unit with our new baby twins, watching these streaming time series.

I like that the picture of Euston station during ‘major disruption’ looks just like Euston station at all times because of the surprise platform announcement system

10 years ago this month I was walking with a friend in the north of Sweden above the arctic circle, no contact with the outside world for a couple of weeks. It was great. I put some photos here —

New addition. It’s been a long time since I’ve thought about Fractal Geometry and this one looks fun.

So a new social thing calls for a shelfie. I’ve been adding to this textbook collection since school and it brings me a lot of joy.
Do you have a favourite here? Also, if you have your own textbook shelfie please share, I love to see them.
