I finally got my new camera. It’s a Panasonic TZ5. I ordered it with some trepidation from buydig.com but it came in less than twenty four hours. No tax, free shipping. Can’t beat that!

Mad photoshop skillz?

Ok, so I’m actually back home now. I got distracted and never managed to actually post this while I way away. Pictures to come soon.

Would have me as a member?

Below is my application to join the LFHCfS. I sent it in a week ago and have heard back nothing at all. I thought perhaps the email got lost since the attached picture was quite large so I wrote them a reminder yesterady—still nothing. Several other members have appeared since my application. I feel so unloved.

I would like to join the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists. The attached photo should attest to the luxuriant flowingness of my hair. I am a physicist working for IBM Research on quantum information theory. My scientific credentials are demonstrated by this url, which lists my papers archived on the quant-ph archive: http://arxiv.org/find/quant-ph/1/au:+Smolin_J/0/1/0/all/0/1. I was also the 2006 Time Magazine Person of the Year.

My application is somewhat urgent, as a colleague of mine has vowed to cut my hair for me if I do not do it myself as of tax day (April 15) 2008. Though I cannot be sure if this would-be Delilah will make good his threat, I feel I should join the LFHCfS while I am still able.

Sincerely,

John A. Smolin

(A note on my mustache: The mustache was produced by the expedient act of shaving off the rest of my beard. This has done as a “costume” for a Yacht-rock Karaoke night representing my best attempt to look like a 1970s porn star. Though its tenure was brief, it did, for one brief shining night, flow luxuriantly forth from atop my upper lip.)
