Milestones

My paper with Aaron Clauset and Mark Newman on power laws has just passed 1000 citations on Google Scholar, slightly ahead of schedule. (Actually, the accuracy of Aaron's prediction is a little creepy.)

I am spending the day reading over my student Daniel McDonald's dissertation draft. The calendar tells me that I was in the middle of writing up my own dissertation in mid-March 2001. But this is impossible, since I could swear that was just a few months ago at most, not eleven years.

Most significant of all, one of my questions has been answered by Guillaume the adaptationist goat.
