May 25 – June 12 It’s cool when your mom invites you somewhere because you know it’ll be within your budget because you won’t have to pay. Maybe that doesn’t always work, but after I graduate my mom invited me to see Florence and Venice with her and my dad, and I don’t think I […]
May 14 Despite offering many science majors, Pomona College can only make you a Bachelor of the Arts. That’s OK, I always thought having a BS degree sounded kind of silly. God willing, I’ll get a piece of paper with my name, “Bachelor of the Art of Math,” and “Our tribute to Christian civilization” printed […]
April 6 – 9 Wedding #2! No, it’s not second-best, it’s just second chronologically, after my cousin on the other side of my family got married on Oahu last September. This time we’re headed to the main island (city of Kona I think) to celebrate with Michael and Marin. I don’t get to backpack around […]
March 30 – April 2 Death Valley is one of the coolest places on earth. I love it. Maybe I love it to death. Sorry. I’m going there on the “DVX” (Death Valley eXtreme!) reunion trip — a repeat of what we did for Cesar Chavez weekend last year. Bryant hubristically names it DVX III […]
March 25 Have I mentioned that I’m a math major? So the 25th is simultaneously the Pacific Coast Undergraduate Math Conference from 8-4, where I’ll be giving a talk and presenting work (same ol’ same ol’ Electoral College stuff), and the date for the Pomona Math Department retreat to Halona. So I’ll be leaving Oxy […]
March 10 – 19 The epic Baja adventure has been postponed again. For spring break I’m catching up on my non-Pomona work. I’m also meeting my boy Garrett from Portland who’s climbing at Red Rocks for a couple days, probably Thurs-Saturday with a possible Vegas stop. If you’re around campus and want to mountain bike, […]

Jan 12-15 I’m heading to San Antonio for the Joint Mathematics Meetings. The “joint” means that the AMS and MAA (two big math groups) team up to put on one big shindig, because who would go to two separate meetings every year just to talk about math? I’m looking forward to it. Not only are […]
