I think I’m all set for Canada now.  I’m off to ICOOMPA 2008, for five days of hardcore optics geekery and a few days exploring Alberta.  My talk is on Monday afternoon, so I can relax as soon as that’s over.

  3. The last book I read was The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie. I finished it on the train on the way home tonight.
  4. My dog is named Pointless, I had a cat named mincemeat.
  5. I plan to win an Ignoble Prize someday for my research.
  6. I can do this:
    Not as painful as it looks...

I tag anyone else that wants to do this.
