Rich Seymour's stochastic statements.

I am just about ready to leave work. Cleaned my desk, gathered about 7 or so papers to read and (hopefully) tied up any loose ends around here. I would’ve liked to have gotten the two websites I’m working on up, but that will happen in due time… ie next week. Here are some cool pictures of bacteria. Hopefully I will be able to understand a bit more intuitively the relationship between a spacegroup 1 glass and those little buggers.

I have a feeling that the conceptual continuous random network that is believed to exist in glasses is more of a continuous nearly random network in reality. Possibly there are patches of it which could be looked at as a group with some degree of symmetry. Or perhaps I’m completely wrong, but in a phase transition boundary these things are bound to occur… Time and some work will hopefully tell.

Also, check out Whine Country for a blog by the guy who Cindy and I are staying with.
