add some basic bkg
Line 1: Line 1:

- bought Nielsen's book on Reinventing Discovery.
- think the deolalikar proof effort in cyberspace is a really great case of the TCS community taking seriously and vetting a proof by an outsider even before it was formally published.
- hope that it can happen again some day, maybe becoming a regular or even frequent occurrence.
- use stack exchange network extensively/regularly but feel its a little too hostile to outsiders and too constricting at times.
