[personal profile] danalwyn, you around? I was reading the May 2nd issue of The New Yorker yesterday, and in their "Annals of Science" series there was an article on David Deutsch. It was fascinating -- quantum computing, bits, qubits, multiverses and the many-worlds theory, Shor's algorithm and the "where is the computation taking place?" conundrum ... oh my god, so much my brain was melting and SO SCARY COOL. And he's a House fan, which made me smile. Just an amazing read, even if I could barely wrap my mind around even half of it. :-D I'd link to the article online, but it's one of those "subscriber-only" things. If you'd like, I can try to scan the actual pages and make a PDF.

Otherwise ... sunny and warm. Enjoyed Doc Martin and Doctor Who last night. On the sports front, stunned that the Mavericks are up 3 - 0 on the Lakers. Who woulda thought? And still reading At Home and enjoying it greatly.
