Things to do with LaTex (and more)

A colleague of mine at work shared some great resources with me today. My site sometimes works best for me as a living reminder of some of the things I should be doing, so I am going to list these resources here

The Social Network

We saw the movie “The Social Network” last night, which dramatically charts the birth and rapid growth of Facebook. The film is loosely based on the book “Accidental Billionaires” by Ben Mezrich. (Some scenes are significantly different to what is found in the book).

I enjoyed the movie. The original story may be less than interesting to those who don’t really care about Facebook, but the filmmakers managed to both craft a compelling narrative and tension. Well worth watching.
