Saturday Snippet: Black Out
The conference I attended last week was okay; all it really reminded me was 1) I have a number of obligations to people (I'm under contract to deliver three books, two book series, and two journals); 2) they are very dangerous places in terms of picking up new obligations (I've agreed to do two other books). My ambition when attending these events is that I'll meet at least one new person who might be interesting to work with and I pick up at least one new, useful idea. I met a couple of new people, but the conference was a washout on the ideas front. Some of the papers I went to were shockingly poor, but there seems to be a long tail in academia (0r, as in the cartoon above, a short tail and a pile of bodies).
