The year 2007 in review
- December 19th, 2007
From each month, the first sentence of the first post.
January: I decided on a whim to look in at the Dilbertblog, where the top post at the moment has Scott Adams calling all atheists that discuss on the net irrational, using a rather neat strawman carbon copy of most discussions of faith between believers (i.e. mostly Christians) and atheists he has seen on the web.
February: The second carnival of mathematics is up over at Good Math, Bad Math.
March: I just met up with the workgroup in the Deutsche Mathematikervereinigung (German Association of Mathematicians) with interest spanning “Information and Communication” – which turns out to mean that they care about libraries, about communicative tools for mathematicians, and spend their time thinking about these things, and meeting at conferences.
April: The website/forumsite Mathetreff, run by the Bezirksregierung (region government) Düsseldorf, just performed a mail interview with me.
May: In about 23 hours, I’ll step on to the train in Jena, heading for T’bilisi, Georgia.
June: Too harried to blog.
July: … or another bout of more-or-less shameless self-promotion.
August: Trying to make the time until my flight leaves tomorrow go by, I played around a bit with the proof assistant Coq.
September: No mathematical content today.
Note: The first september post consisted of a CAS interaction dump. Not fun to quote, so I took the second post.October: In a conversation on IRC, I started prodding at low-order wreath products.
November: In a recent column at The Chronicle of Higher Education, the columnist writes:
December: I just received my first ever referee’s report.
In conclusion – living in Germany affects me adversely. The number of first sentences that span the entire first paragraph of the posts I’ve been looking at is staggering.

Michi is a recent PhD working in homological algebra and applied algebraic topology. This blog is his outlet for texts with some manner of thought put into them. Over at his LiveJournal intimate details and streams of consciousness might be found.
Not all here is mathematics. All here, though, are my personal thoughts and opinions. Please read the about page (linked above) for more details.
