   Do I see some cluster-state quantum computing in turqoise in the upper left corner?

   There are rock faces under overhangs in southeastern Utah that are similarly decorated, but the colors have faded somewhat.

   Looks just like a whiteboard on a college student’s door, except there’s no invitation from the kid down the hall to go grab some lo mein.

   Looks like you’re muscling in on Randall Munroe

   We are throwing a party in honor of your tremendous success… A party associate will arrive shortly to collect you for your party… Assume the ‘Party Escort Submission Position’ or you will miss the party.

   The cricket-to-baseball translation guide was laid out on a whiteboard at such a nerd party:

   Thanks a LOT for posting that link!! Sports of any kind confound me (the rules just seem random). However, cricket is the only sport where I have a zero + delta comprehension of the rules. Hopefully, this conversion table will help me understand a teeny epsilon amount about baseball. (When a student once asked me a calc. question about players running from one base to another at different rates in a baseball diamond, I actually asked him what a baseball diamond looked like. That’s the magnitude of my profound ignorance.)

    I understand completely. As an atypical family, we have white boards with markers all over the house. Of course we also have a half-bath with magnetic poetry on the walls, MolyMod chemicals constructs scattered around, six skulls showing the evolution of Man, and a sixteen year taking Intermediate E/M. White boards are absolutley essential to life and a great time!

    I see a plot of the $latex M_*-\sigma[\tex] relation. Are you doing galaxy formation now?
