A photograph of a mayfly from Wikipedia

This little mayfly is hardly an intimidating creature, is it? Yet when millions of them hatch on the same night, they’re capable of making their presence felt. Below is an animated GIF from the National Weather Service showing a mayfly hatch a few hours down the road as it appeared on their weather radar. Yikes!

Tip o’ the cap to Keith Brugger for the pointer to the NWS page.

Greetings from Seattle!
I’m happily ensconced here in Seattle for GECCO 2006 (one of the major conferences in evolutionary computation, my primary research area), and managing to sneak in a few pictures now and then. The photograph above isn’t a great one, but it shows the mighty mountain in the distance, which isn’t something one sees all that often. The shot below is of the Seattle Public Library (the white glass building in the foreground), which is one cool building.

And I’m missing WeatherGirl and Sub-Evil Boy’s World Cup party tomorrow, all in the name of science :-).

Lots o' geometry
