# I've started making nicer figures too
B3ta in helping academic careers shocker! :)

I've only been doing it for talks so far but I'm going to start putting much better figures in my papers, too. Just because it's theoretical physics it doesn't mean it actually has to be boring, grey, drab rubbish.

Next task: let's try and slip some meme into our next papers. Not Goatse, something a bit less well known. Any ideas?

# B3ta has helped me no end
F'rinstance:



if I hadn't have been cocking about making stuff for here, I'd never have found this tool.

I'm going to work Teh Quo into a table-of-contents image.

# I wondered about the Quo
but I think there's probably something better out there. I'm going to pay more attention to memes on this place, and then build it into a paper.

linked for being disgustingly huge (370k, about 1024x1024 i think) is the kind of image I'll be playing with. I think there's a lot of potential for working something into that.

Mummies, for example.
