I was not kidding. I spent a bit of time reading screenplays, written by students in the USC School of Cinema-Television. This is, as you may know, one of the finest schools of its type, and it feeds the Industry (entertainment and related visual arts) with a huge amount of new talent. Just look at the CVs of the various writers, producers, directors, etc, who are nominated each year for Oscars and Emmys and you’ll see how much USC matters in this area.

It has to do with the fact that you give a viewpoint of a young person taking a course in physics, learning their way around the subject and its culture......and describing their journey while doing that..... It is a really good thing indeed. -cvj No. It has nothing to do with the picture of me.

As I stated in my last post, I'm not really that happy about it. Check out the latest update to see what I want the content to look like in the future. PS : I've just realised the reason you like it. It's that picture of you, isn't it? ;-) @Clifford :

It is more refreshing to think that "the secular movement of blogging" is spearheading this nascent age of enlightenment. C.V.- thanks for your significant contributions to this new movement in society. It is refreshing to think that humanity is reentering a new epoch of enlightenment.

It represents something that the internet was lacking for a while. It offers a great deal of flexibility and a sense of community, something a regular website does not offer, while being more constrained (and thus providing better qualility of postings) than internet fora. Good work people at CV! Keep it up! I don’t think it is surprising that blogging has become a major influence. It represents something that the internet was lacking for a while.

But I am always aware that because of the people I DO know who read it, there is a great deal I cannot say.
