Somehow, I've picked up a few followers in the two weeks or so that I've been posting.
I know who two of them are: my wonderful girlfriend Bryanne, and a friend at the OSU physics dept.
But the other two are mysterious---one's a guy (or gal) who sends his/her greetings from Turkey. This narrows down the list of probably suspects, but not by much---I know more than a few Turks.
Finally, there's a dude from Croatia, Gacina. I suspect that the c should be pronounced like "ch", so I think his name should be pronounced Gachina. But I'm probably wrong. Anyway, he seems to be a new blogger, too, and wrote a pretty entertaining post about the first contact between non-eskimos and eskimos.
If any of you want to drop in to say hi, don't hesitate to leave a comment!
Anyway, I'm having a cup of cappuccino at Peet's, learning about N=2 D=4 (or N=1, D=6) compactifications of heterotic string theory (SPIRES is being slow, otherwise I'd link the paper). Great times :) I'll leave you with another Aquarium picture: this is a banana slug! Not the UCSC mascot, mind you, but it's marine cousin.

Ben, I'm pleased to here you are doing well in libreral land out west. A little help for you w/ string, mono filiment is best for fishing and the yellow twine stuff is better for crab traps and laying out foundations. Glad I could help. by the way, I am still thinking of my next question for your return home.
Hey mark---
I've heard stories of Spanish Mackerel attacking yellow fishing line and shiny swivels. I also caught a bluefish once by reeling in a bare hook very quickly.
