Sigbovik is a joke conference put on by CMU students. About 80%-90% of the papers each year are pure jokes, but about 10-20% of them are jokes that have a nontrivial amount of work backing them up. These papers are awesome. Tom publishes at least one every year (sometimes 3-4) and his papers are among the best but there are others that are also awesome. It hits a very fun combination of hard work on trivial problems that is fascinating.
They publish a proceedings every year and they are fun reads.
Not a lot of people do accompanying videos like Tom does, but this one on WordTeX is excellent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlX_pThh7z8
I think tom7 and tomw are two different people.
They are different people, yes. That's why I mentioned the video as an example of somebody who isn't Tom7 doing an associated video.
I guess my text was a little unclear.
