Tidbits...
I just got one of those Nigerian scam emails you always hear about (only it's from Dubai this time). Just to waste their time, I wrote back pretending to be very excited at the great opportunity they offered and asking why they chose me as the benificiary of $17 million in unclaimed funds. I really hope they write me back. This ought to be good. :)
Last night I thought about that old belief that your life flashes before your eyes when you're about to die. I wondered about porn stars and if their final moments are like watching one long porno with slightly more plot and dialogue.

My student admin told me about a novel programming language called Piet today:
http://www.dangermouse.net/esoteric/piet.html
The code itself is written in visual representation. I must say, human creativity and ingenuity never cease to amaze me. Check out the sample programs at this link:

I want to see what the DeCSS algorithm looks like in Piet. I think I would print it, frame it, and hang it in my study...

Life's good. That's all for now.
