Kevin not in quasiland :(

Well folks, this is probably my last post from abroad. I haven't decided yet if I will continue using this blog, but perhaps! Anyway, I'm now in Warsaw, Poland, having just returned from the Bojarski Conference. It was great! The organizers did a fantastic job. I really felt like a king - literally. There was a castle and everything. The math was really amazing too. I learned a lot, including two interesting open problems which are related to my research. My talk seemed to go pretty well, despite the fact that I spelled an important researcher's name wrong (that's twice, dammit!). Anyway, I had a lot of fun hanging with the crowd from Michigan, which has become quite identical to the crowd from Finland. And it seems that soon there will be many Polish mathematicians who are also dubbed "quasifinns".

The next few days will be spent doing math, probably. I have a lot of writing to do for Pekka and also for my dissertation, and I feel very close to a solution to another problem. I must say that about a week ago I really wanted to go home. Right now I'm eager to go home, but I really miss finland. I could use a sauna and a dip in the sea....

More photos are available, as always... here's a bonus:

Busy busy!

Things have been pretty crazy over the past two weeks! I've been to Turku (one of the larger cities in Finland), Porvoo (a small town in Finland), an island (twice), Stockholm (sweden), and now I'm in Helsinki (again). In the meantime, I've been working like crazy on a paper from my research this semester as well as preparing for the Bojarski conference (only one week away!) and trying to find time to work on my dissertation as well. So, rather than give you a blow-by-blow of the past few weeks, I'll let the photos do the talking. Here are a few samples:
