About
If you want to know who I am, you’ll either have to do some digging, or you can just leave a message and ask. It’s not terribly hard to go from my blog identity to my other identities, but given that I’m starting to say some really personal things, I’d like to put an identity speed bump in the way.
Hello, from one fish to… two!

Hi Twofish
Although we have never met we have some things in common.. I also have a PhD in astrophysics.. and in fact I also did some work on SN simulations. Now a postdoc, but looking to move into quant world. I’ve read your blog a few times over the past year or so. Keep it up, and good luck with everything!

Hi Twofish,
I am the Gainesville Guy. I hope you still remember. I am glad that you finally got a job working on QF. I certainly hope that it would be the way you thought it was. I am also hoping that you like what you are doing and stay that way.
Lots of things have happened since I acquired my Post-doc position. I started to understand the “Money Chase” game in the Colledge of Engineering, which was totally unheard of when I was in Math( or even Physics). I will still be a post-doc for another year under a different faculty, who turns out, having a private OR company of his own. I will be working for him as an employee starting next year if I like the job and he likes my performance this coming year.
I have a couple of papers in QF as a result of the year working as a post-doc. But for now, I am not interested getting a job in QF any more.
I wish you good luck in whatever you want to accomplish. Drop me a couple of lines some time.

Nice post, twofish. I’ve got a similar argument on my blog and in an article in The Freeman (check the links in the msot recent post) you might be interested in. The gist of it was that Mises was way too optimistic in believing that double-entry bookkeeping would be sufficient to keep the corporation “entrepreneurial” instead of bureaucratic.

Hi Joseph,
Congrats on the new job, it’s been a while since we talked, but it’s good to hear you’ve landed somewhere ideal.

Hi, I saw your post about the open degree architecture. I am trying to bootstrap a free academic community, primarily focused on research, but also doing teaching etc. I am looking for other people interested in re-inventing academia, and I thought you could be of help. If interested get in touch.

Hi, I have read many of your posts on Wilmott and was wondering if I could come to you for some career advice in QF. I am a senior in undergrad and want to learn more about the field. Shoot me an e-mail when you get a chance please! Thanks.

Nice blog. You are one of the few that actually gave a hoot about Taiwan’s election.
Everybody else was too busy sh!tting on China over Darfur/Tibet/Falun Gong/”House Chruch” that kills people/whatever…

Hi Twofish. Your well informed and educated comments on Brad Selser’s blog made me curious. Who are you?

Hi there, I wanted to touch base with you to ask your permission if I could reproduce your piece “Toward a social constructivist theory of law” as a post on my new blog (established, yesterday). It will be the first significant posting. The prior post I will do an introduction to what the blog is about.
Please contact me at sociallyconstructed@gmail.com, so that I may highlight the particulars of the blog. I hope to hear from you soon.
Cheers,
Jason

Do you just sit there and pat yourself on the back all day long? I bet you do, which is kinda sad.
