Life Goes On
I believe my emotional responses to most media are controlled by the media. I do not think my emotions are reactive to the media, I think the media package includes emotional responses in the box. For example, while watching the… Read more…
Mighty is the Swarm
Peityr hovered just above the base of his seat. An intricate network of buckles, straps, wires, and belts was the only thing that kept him from floating away. The nausea and restlessness was immense in zero gravity, so much so,… Read more…
Opportunity Rings the Doorbell and Runs Away
America: “The land of opportunity!” Just remember – your very livelihood is someone else’s opportunity, since each citizen is supported to the same basic extent by the government, and all further changes of fortune that happen after that point are… Read more…
(Point) and Contrapunctus
There is an issue I would like to discuss that many people in the new generation don’t understand (or have never been told about), and that many people old enough to know about have forgotten, or are incapable of properly… Read more…
SI Units Are Not Your Friends Any More
Here’s a messy first-draft of an Exponential Non Transitive Absolute Unit Conversion Algorithm I developed. Steal… Read more…
All Glory to the Hypnotoad
It’s easy to divide a symmetric piece of paper such that the divided sections are equal in area if you draw a line down the exact middle, then draw another line down the exact middle again. That’s called a microcosm, because… Read more…
Is All Really Fair in Love (and War)?
I suspect that society believes a person has just one chance to get it right in matters of love. Without instruction or practice, we are expected to fall in love and stay in love by instinct alone. If we lose… Read more…
Gibs and Greif!
What if recent intimations in society regarding the holographic nature of the universe, and the idea that life is a virtualization are merely outgrowths of the 3D video game industry’s success in mastering the nature of reality into mechanical simile?… Read more…
Current Events: Time Dilation
Boo to mail.google.com. Boo to mail.microsoft.com. Boo to Microsoft Exchange. mail.google.com has a vicious lag in loading my inbox. mail.microsoft.com is sending me spam messages from my own email address. Both are umbrellas-sites, bordering on the criminal in utility. Does the… Read more…
Not Too Friendly, but Technically Correct Speech
I don’t favor public speakers that use excessive amounts of ingressive speech patterns in their dialogues. Ingressive speech is all about the production of sound while sucking the vocal medium (usually air) INTO the lungs. It’s a good tactic for… Read more…
The Prince and The Pauper
Imagine you are supremely wealthy as a result of massive fortunes placed in your name by your family and friends due to your good character and hard work. Imagine you are not aware of this wealth except to say that… Read more…
Voiceless Counting
Did you know you can generate more than five things to count with using just the fingers on a single hand? This may come in handy for use in complex languages and counting systems. You’ll find that the bits on computers… Read more…
Persnickety Sitch
A description of a bad life getting better can be refactored rather easily via multiple means into a description of a good life getting worse, in effect, making a bad life even worse. “I won, by doing x, y, and… Read more…
Oneness
If you divide 2 identical things very carefully into two identical parts each, with each part identical to the originals except for their decreased scale, you will see four things before you as a result, but due to conservation of mass, you should maintain awareness of… Read more…
Game On!
There’s no other feeling in the world like trading card games. Is The Game, “The made up rule sets and powers of the characters and ideas you play with using the cards when gambling,” or is The Game, “The act… Read more…
E Still Equals mc^2?
Einstein’s postulate that nothing is faster than the observed speed of light is wrong. Ultimately, what he proved was that we could not visually and objectively perceive anything which travels faster than light, which is a limitation of our ability… Read more…
