Feat of Nerdiness: Text on the Beach

Another reason I haven't written much lately is because I recently spent a week on the Outer Banks in North Carolina with my boyfriend and his family. They are a wonderfully nerdy family but they were still rather surprised by the book I had brought for some light beach reading. It was Michael Sipser's Introduction to the Theory of Computation. In my defense, I told them that it was to prepare for the course I am to head-TA in the fall. Apparently, this is no excuse for mixing nondeterminism and sand into a delicious cocktail I call text on the beach.
