Maybe I'm a nerd, but I was excited to hear that Russell Crowe's new movie Beautiful Mind is about John Forbes Nash, Jr., the Nobel Prize winner (for his "Nash Equilibrium") who lost his mind for a while. A great biography came out a couple of years ago, did anyone read it and is anyone planning on seeing the movie?

I think the movie looks good. I did a project encryption and I think it's fascinating.

I read the book it was quite good, Nash was quite a character, he even tried to give up his US citizenship but was unsuccessful (I wonder how that will play in the movie with all the patriotic fervor these days). My bet is this skip it.

There isn't enough to populate it. Anyway, what I'm really doing here is trying to get someone to post that picture of the woman doing cartwheels on the beach.
