    Oops!  Forgot a day yesterday.  Oh well, it will just make the game more exciting:

  • puzzle piece #3

  • no trip to Iran, a puzzle game instead

    I hadn’t mentioned it to many people, but I had a paper accepted to a conference in Iran over the summer and was supposed to travel there next week (I even got my university to pay for most of the trip).  I was very excited and was going to come back with thousands of pictures…
