thesis zoom

I just finished the first complete line-by-line editing pass of the thesis! Which is, as of a couple of hours ago, sitting pretty at the magic number of 60 pages long. (Not that there is actually a threshold, but it's good to hit a target.) Lots of polishing left to do, but I need to start focusing on prep for the presentation soon. We'll see what Jim says in our meeting tomorrow.

In honor of this accomplishment, here is a pointless graph I made when procrastination masqueraded as random curiosity. It's a histogram of the years of publication of all 50 citations in my bibliography. (This excludes the website citations, obviously.) Why? Why not. Making graphs in MATLAB is starting to feel very... calming.
