long time lurker who migrated to cv here from pu. first year grad student interested in particle theory/cosmology. cv is one of my favorite stops – unfortunately havent gotten around here much lately(hence the tardy post). keep up the great work. really enjoy your thoroughly though out and well communicated posts. good mix of physics and other, although less physics lately it seems. sean – best poster i’ve found on the net. was introduced to your work when i used to your text while studying gr as an undergrad several years ago and have enjoyed your writing ever since.

been a long time lurker from p.u. days but, unfortunately, haven’t read much here lately. first year grad student interested in particle theory/cosmology. this blog is certainly one of the best available. thoroughly thought out posts that are very well communicated. great mix of physics and other, although it seems less physics as of late. sean – in my opinion the best blogger on the internet. first was introduced to your stuff when i used your g.r. text as an undergrad several years ago and have continued to enjoy your writings ever since.

Sorry, I was vacationing on Lurker Day. I have a MS in mathematics, but have worked in mathematical finance in the US for the last 20 years. I studied algebraic geometry and am thrilled by the role it has come to play in physics. I also like the posts that battle inumeracy in the media and society. Blog on!

I am an undergrad at Stanford, and I’m almost definitely going to major in Physics. I was excited to see a physics blog somewhere on the net (I think I found this through Pharyngula), and in enough time, I hope to know enough to start my own.

Studied Physics/Math as an undergrad. Mostly an avocation. Like everyone else (of course ! ?) continually working on the ultimate TOE. Am interested in the work of Bekenstein, holographic principle, and applications of information theoretic approaches to cosmological problems. Currently work in telecommunications (it pays the bills) Just recently found this site and find it quite interesting.

Hi!

Academically, I am Sean’s sole progeny so far (and hoping to be joined by another soon), now chugging along as a postdoc at Yale!

I mostly lurk, since any post I make tend to be (a) ignored (b) shot down (c) plain wrong, though all my posts are full of deep insight that can be extracted only after long and hard meditation.

PhD in Chemical Engineering, now developing new products and processes for a major chemical company in the US.

I’ve been following Sean’s posts over from the Preposterous Universe for about a year now…

Tony… Hi…What a pleasant surprise! Just goes to show: “you never know who’s reading”.

Folks…this is the guy who wrote that excellent introductory field theory book I’ve mentioned a few times….

Cheers,
