just got the screen made for this print. should have them done by next week. if anyone wants one let me know!
come join us for the first ever WORK IN PROGRESS; a new bi-monthly evening where a changing roster of artists can preview what they’ve been working on. all pieces will be followed by a Q&A with the artist.

Category Theory is like Set Theory, but supposedly better. What is it, though?
- It’s a collection of points, and arrows.
- Unlike in Set Theory, things can’t just be there, without a meaning attached.
- No wonder they call it “abstract nonsense”…
An example, then. Maybe you noticed this when you were learning arithmetic:
111111111
I’ll write o for odd and e for even.
o+o=e
e+e=e
o+e=o
e+o=o222222222
I’ll write P for positive, N for negative, and × for times.
N×N=P
P×P=P
N×P=N
P×N=N##########
Maybe you see it already. Negative numbers play the role in multiplication that odd numbers play in addition. Similarly, positive numbers serve the same function in multiplication that even numbers serve in addition.
Namely, positive & even preserve the state of the thing they operate on, and negative & odd change the state.
Interchanging (e,o,+) for (P,N,×) is called a functor.
One more thing: notice that both of these are isomorphic to the cyclic group Z2, with even or positive as the identity element.
Everybody… meet Chris.
Who wouldn’t re-elect us as Social Chairs 2010-2011?
Lindsey and I had a beautiful eBay’d tandem in college that had sparkly streamers and lights in the spokes. Some of my fondest memories include the few times she’d pick me up from class on the tandem and we’d ride home past the frats on 3rd Street. You haven’t really biked until you’ve tandem biked.
Ah my fondest memories with Brian were on that eBay’d tandem. Like the time we rode by a party, and some frat guys threw beer on us and called us faggots. Memories…
