49, 50, um, um, um, 51

After a brief break, the Carnival of Mathematics returns!

A couple of notes:

the intro is short, funny (for us math-types, and maybe a few others), punchy.

there are math blogs that I check regularly, but there are others I don’t follow, but go to when the carnival sends me… which means I read a better mix the week after a carnival comes out. Especially this time, with the overall recreational tilt, I think this will be true.

there is a core of people, not huge, but larger than I suspected, who seem to care about the CoM’s continued existence.

serious discussion about having semi-regular hosts. I think I’d jump on that train.
