Song of the day: anything by the Shimura Curves.

Not that the talk I’ll give later today has anything to do with Shimura curves, or that I am an expert on the subject at all, but these London electropop-girls are the only band I know of that took their name from a topic in algebraic geometry and I am (supposed to be) an expert on that field in general. And I’ll try to show that to some people at the University of Exeter this afternoon.
And now I should do some final preperations. I really hope people will understand what I’ll be talking about. That sounds easy, but I have the statistics against me, as I heard even one of the best professors claim that he doesn’t understand anything of half of the talks he attends…

(Shimura Curves, by the way, have a blog too.)
