Real life takes it’s toll. I have a number of works in progress that I need to get up here, I’ll try to put a little bit of time into it each day, I’d really like to get some conversation/feedback on some of these ideas that have been plaguing me for months.

I’ve been playing a lot of go lately, the game has very simple rules, but the emergent behavior is incredibly complex. Much ‘strategy’ seems completely arbitrary; I’m inclined to wonder if perhaps the familiar ‘strategy’ is a self-reinforcing paradigm.

This quarter should be pretty light. Solid State Physics, Senior Thesis, Aikido, and another class, quite possibly “Music and Artificial Intelligence”. Sounds interesting, a lot of algorithmic work in music. Will be nice to have something outside the standard physics fare.
