i can't seem to concentrate on research today. i know the obstructions (which shape the goals) and i recall some known facts proven by better and wiser mathematicians, but i cannot seem to "get my hands dirty" and see what i can prove.
it could be because i haven't gotten into a good groove, yet. yesterday i was studying something distinctly different ..
(in particular, i was reviewing a few old arguments of mine that i had meant to show the advisor, at some point, but other things came up; it happens)
.. and i couldn't get into a good groove, either. maybe there's something to be said for consistency and comfort of thought?
[shrugs]
oh well.
anyways, apparently i've been living under a rock for the last week or two. there are an obscene number of interesting preprints posted on the arXiv, and i found it hard to organize what i will read later and what i will say i will read much later (but will probably never get to read).
so i have done this: i've saved them under my del.icio.us web bookmarks. this is a wonderful (& free!) service. think of the convenience of taking your bookmarks with you ..
("favorites" for those of you who use internet explorer)
.. except you don't have to import/export them, carry them on a usb flash drive. oh no. you can just look them up, as if they formed a webpage for you .. which, in fact, they do.
so here are my mathematical bookmarks, as found on del.icio.us: {link}
ps. if anyone likes photos of sunsets and horizons, i have also developed a collection on del.icio.us, here: {link}
