Tonya helped me print off and bind five copies of my thesis yesterday. This is the 100 word cloud my 52075 word thesis generated. Here’s what it’s about if your interested.

Don’t get too excited. There’s still a ways to go. This is in preparation for my departmental exam. After that, we have the final defence … some time in April.

Miss Movember

Tilak Dutta — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 12:04:35 +0000

Kathleen participated in Movember this year. Of everyone I know involved in Movember, she’s put in the most effort and shown the greatest committment – by far. I can attest to the fact that she held up her end of the bargain and wore a different mustache to work every day of the month. Well played Kathleen. Well played.

You can see all of her mustaches here. Please note that today is your last chance to donate.
