I can't believe how many of these graphs I recognize, even on their tiny-scale pictures. But I'm anyway going to forward the link to several people who work in the field - it will definitely help in preparing presentations and the like.

Yes, this is great. I do a crude version of these things in modeling peer groups of children, and it's fun to see models from many levels of analysis that have the same structure as kids, their friends, their enemies, kids they don't care about etc. Not just social networks, but networks in general.

Gud, I hope things work out for the best for you and yours.

Perkins, feel better!

I can't get over the way networks in such different orders of magnitude present such similar characteristics. From protein networks, through various social ones, up to computer and airlines networks. Artifical or natural ones, too. Fascinating stuff.

Nilly!!!!

ita - congrats on brown beltedness.

Timelies, everybody.

Very cool.

Hmm. I've been lounging around all morning. I'm meeting a friend for lunch in about two hours. If I get dressed now and go into my office to study, then leave to get to where I'm meeting my friend, that'll leave me with about an hour and a half to study. Is it worth it, or do I just continue lounging around, and figure I'll study in the afternoon?

Maidengurl! How are you doing? I've been thinking about you and your family (thanks to posts in "Beep Me"), but I can't remember when I last posted with you.

Hil, will you feel all accomplished that you left to study, and it will prompt you to use the time properly? Or will the guilt for not using that 1.5 hours make your afternoon study even more productive?

I'm feeling the need to explodiate the DMV. Anyone with me??

I think more of the second. And I can use some of this time to do the dishes here, which will at least be accomplishing something.

BOOM!

Explodiate is a great word. Explodiate. EXPLODIATE!

Explodiate. EXPLODIATE!

There's a Dalek in my head saying that now. I think I love them even more.

Nilly - it has been a long time since we have posted together. Typically I can't keep up in Natter, but I'm making my annual attempt and look at the reward I get - YOU!

Mom is doing ok. Things are still rough, but they appear to be getting more stable. Tomorrow we meet with the lawyers regarding signing the papers for legal guardianship for C. Oh, and DH is employed once again. I think that is the basics in a nutshell. Do you lj?
