Dateline Stanford: Summer!

Well, summer has arrived for me here at Stanford since I finished up my projects on Monday this week. If you want to see the slides from the junk email project, go to:

Thanks for all the extra junk mail everyone sent! It was a great help. You can stop now. :)

I've also put up some more cool pictures on the web page. Thanks to Natalie, I now have a page of "old school" pictures. I also have some pictures from the top of the Hoover Tower of various parts of campus.

In other news, we have our first public release of ESCOT Runner, which I have been working on part time since January. This will be used for three Problems of the Week on the Math Forum website this summer. If you have a relatively speedy
machine (at least PowerPC or Pentium based, faster is better) and at least 32MB of RAM (64MB is preferred) you can try it out. Also, please pass this info on to any middle school students you think might be interested.

I recommend downloading the installer with VM... most computers do not have recent enough Java support.
