Curiousity Killed the Cat

I've been getting more hits since transititioning to this new website format. Quite a few from overseas too. So naturally I am curious about who is reading my blog. Thus I've put in a poll at right and below in hopes that people who don't want to leave a comment or drop me an email will at least answer the poll. It is totally anonymous, and will either satisfy my curiousity or make things worse :)
Poll: What brought you here?
We're family.
We're friends.
I'm a former student.
Interesting content.
Curious about the Ph.D.
I'm also Darrin Thomas!
I read an article by you.

Can you hear me now?

From the San Francisco Chronicle: Verizon CEO sounds off on Wi-Fi, customer gripes. An excerpt:

"Why in the world would you think your (cell) phone would work in your house?" Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg said. "The customer has come to expect so much. They want it to work in the elevator; they want it to work in the basement."

ZabaSearch.com Free People Search

I am absolutely addicted to this: ZabaSearch.com Free People Search. It has four addresses for Laura and I, spanning AK, IL, and FL. So clearly alot of the information is outdated, but cool/scary none the less.

For those of you keen on getting publications, check out the SCIgen Automatic Computer Science Paper Generator. Too bad the end result isn't terribly coherent.
