Today I went and retrieved my books that have been sitting in my old Caltech office for 4+ years. It was a little wierd how little the office has changed. Comics I stuck on the wall are still there, and the desks look more-or-less like they did when I was there. I glanced at the titles of a couple of the papers scattered about and it was all the sort of stuff I would have read. My books were up on the top shelf, but the shelves of the current occupants contained a fairly indistinguishable set of books.

The big thing I forgot when I was figuring how many boxes I would need was my notebooks. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with them, but I now also have several hundred pages of notes from 2.5 years of classes, and research. I did decide to leave the e-prints I had collected in the file cabinet.

I did a quick triage of the books and figured out which ones I’m willing to part with right away. They’re now on my forsale page, on the miniscule chance that anyone reading this is interested in graduate level physics and math books.
