I'll be in New Orleans for the next few days for the annual math extravaganza known as
the Joint Mathematics Meetings I'll be speaking on Friday, about the Monty Hall problem of course. As my reward, I will be seeing Ellis Marsalis perform at the Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro that night. Should be fun! See y'all when I return.

I'm a huge Eric Clapton fan, particularly of his blues output, always have been, always will be. There's only one artist I've seen in concert more time that EC, but more on that later.
Today is my 38th birthday. Not a big deal to me. As my father likes to say, there's no point in worrying about birthdays until you stop having them.
Thanks to Timothy Sandefur for reminding me that today would have been Miles Davis' 78th birthday. Miles is in my second tier of jazz icons.
I used to do a Friday Random Ten over at my old blog, but haven't in a while. And then I find that PZ ran one today, and he featured "Strange Fruit" by Billy Holiday.
Looking forward to your talk Jason.
An immensely enjoyable talk.
I'm glad you liked it. It was nice to meet you at the conference.
Nice to meet you too. I have posted pictures of your talk on my FB page.
I, for one, am disappointed that there was no liveblogging of this.
