obligatory first-post nonsense

first post, we'll see how it goes...

too much stuff happening all at once. papers to write, homework to grade, pictures to draw, family to go home to, career to build, PhD to finish, and so on...

i think the title of this blog says it all, really. "x": the quintessential variable, the placeholder for every unknown piece of information, the thing we don't know, the problem we try to solve...

question: what will this blog be about?
answer: whatever happens to be x at the time.

for now, x=this first post

so, run and play and have a wonderful wednesday.
