Until recently there were only 3 classes of solutions to the famed three-body problem. Belgrade physicists just released results detailing 13 new classes of solutions, see them interactively here !
These results are just too awesome. The three-body problem is a relevant topic in classroom physics and mathematics. The fact that research continues on this century-old problem with new discoveries all the time is very exciting to me.
Check out the team blog from the Vermont Complex Systems Center. Great research being done on happiness, computational linguistics, and chaos!

Night on the town with awesomest roomie.
Ravens beat out the infamous and favored Patriots.
I called it— only a little bit of bragging here— but admittedly I did not base my prediction on anything except the faith carried over from their last epic victory (Ravens vs. Broncos). Does anyone know of interesting research done on the predictability of NFL game outcomes?
Fuck you, Green Bay defense. You had all season to get your shit together. You knew San Fran would be a tough opponent. You could’ve at least shown up to the game in the 2nd half.
Omfg Canada!!!!
Packing up! Can’t wait to spend time with an old friend & see a new city.
