A couple of things

PI is gonna hold a col­lo­quium this after­noon. Below is the title and abstract.

It sounds inter­est­ing. I will blog this talk pro­vided that it will be really inter­est­ing and that I will be able to take good notes. So, not guaranteed.

Below are some of the newly added blogs in my blogroll.

• P. P. Cook's Tan­gent Space. Paul Cook is a PhD stu­dent in the­o­ret­i­cal physics at King's Col­lege, Lon­don under Peter West's super­vi­sion. He is work­ing on "Sym­me­tries in M-Theory and Branes". His blog is in a high "con­trast ratio", worth reading.
• Physics Mus­ings. Don't get con­fused with the famous stringy blog, Mus­ings. This blog is run by Jose Anto­nio Ortega Ruiz, a Span­ish Ph.D. in physics. Many year ago, Dr. Ruiz had to give up physics but to do pro­gram­ming after get­ting his degree. The amaz­ing thing is that he is com­ing back to physics now after hav­ing been away from physics for a long long time. So he describes his blog as "a tale of a physicist's come back". He also has a touch­ing short essay about his story, here. In his words, "you're never too old".
• Col­lider Blog. Don't be scared. It is just a 2-month old blog but not a col­lider. Dr. Michael Schmitt is a researcher in par­ti­cle physics, a mem­ber of the CDF and CMS col­lab­o­ra­tions, and a tenured fac­ulty at North­west­ern University. He is obvi­ously not just a physics fan. He wants to show us the excite­ment, chal­lenge and tri­umphs of accelerator-based par­ti­cle physics.
• Sci­ence Blogs. This is a group blog which already has 44 blog­gers and 6069 posts in total. Many inde­pen­dent blog­gers gave up their orig­i­nal blog­ging spaces and joined this group space. So you can see lots of dif­fer­ent arti­cles in a sin­gle explorer win­dow now. How­ever, I would not like to leave my own place.
• LQG Group of NUS. This is the web­page of the LQG group in the National Uni­ver­sity of Sin­ga­pore. So far, It is sim­ply a page with use­ful infor­ma­tion for begin­ners in LQG, how­ever, bet­ter than none. I do wish it will have more con­tent in the near future and wish there will be more loopy groups in the world.
• Jon­strav­e­lad­ven­ture. Jonathan Shock has been in Bei­jing, China for about 8 months. He then wrote sev­eral long posts in his blog about the tips of liv­ing in Bei­jing for those who are to attend the con­fer­ence, Strings'06. If you are not Chi­nese and will attend the con­fer­ence or will go there by any chance, you may find his blog help­ful. How­ever, the most help­ful thing is to find a Chi­nese stu­dent as your friend as soon as you get there.
• At String School. Dim­itri Ter­ryn is a 21-year-old master's stu­dent in String The­ory. His blog, in his own words, is about "String The­ory and High Energy Physics, as seen from the per­spec­tive of a low­ely Master's stu­dent who is on a quest to fig­ure it all out".

Prof. John Baez posted his lat­est "This week's finds in math­e­mat­i­cal physics". In this issue, he talks about the rela­tion between music and math­e­mat­ics, espe­cially group the­ory and geom­e­try. If you never stepped into his won­der­ful out-of-date-style blog, I would sug­gest you book­mark his site and read it often. And this name, you cer­tainly should not miss it.
