I really should have done it sooner, but I'm blaming the pandemic and some other issues for delaying me. But on Friday, finally defended my dissertation and passed. So I flipped that bit.

Parks and Rec was an amazing show

By gzt (Fri Feb 27, 2015 at 04:45:47 PM EST) gzt, phone, stuff, travel, ugh (all tags)

I already miss it.

One great thing was how positive it was. And yet it remained funny. It was a very satisfying show.

Anyway, so I'm reading about all the other stuff in image compression and signal processing. Turns out the big new thing is "compressed sensing" or "compressive sensing". Of course, as expected, Terry Tao wrote the most important article on it.

So I'll quickly retype. PSU invited me to their information day. "This invitation is extended to applicants with offers or high on our waiting list." I don't have an offer, so I presume I'm high on the waiting list. They're my top choice, so if I get accepted there, I am definitely going.
