I suppose it makes sense to know what the person you are contacting looks like. To the right is a picture of Annie and I during the summer of 2002 at a friend's birthday party. I still look pretty much the same.

In the last few years, I have been contacted by people who seek my advice on whether or not they would be accepted to various universities and what kinds of funding they could expect. If I don't know you and you are planning on doing this; don't. Do like everyone else does and read your prospective program's site, and if that is not sufficient; ask their graduate admissions person for the contact information of a student who would be willing to give their advice. Emailing random graduate students is basically spamming, especially when you are emailing someone in a different group from what you are interested in.

There are quite a few e-mail addresses one could use. Please choose only one, as all of them are checked every 20 minutes.

josiah.carlson@gmail.com
jcarlson@nerp.net
josiahcarlson@yahoo.com
josiah_carlson@hotmail.com
1574593@pager.mirabilis.com

Some older email addresses (that may or may not work in the coming months or years): jcarlson@uci.edu
jcarlson@ics.uci.edu
jcarlson@isd.net
If you hadn't noticed, my ICQ number is 1574593. I do have IDs for the other major chat networks (Yahoo and MSN being obvious, AIM being the same as the Yahoo, only without the @yahoo.com), and used to keep a copy of Trillian open at all times just in case, but no one has really chatted with me in months, so I stopped logging in.

Really though, my email checks itself quit often. Just email me.
