Yeah. So... yeah, I didn't have a Tuesday Teaser for New Year's Day. I've been alternately sick and working on the Mystery Hunt. And more recently... neither.

*sigh* I'll have something more substantial up in the coming week. But for now, a terminology note. I propose that "hybrid" and "chimera" not be strictly interchangeable.
With regard to ( Read more... )

Typical. I get a writing project going, hit a wall, and refuse to go back and change it. Also relevant, I don't know what the final message was going to be in "Vandal, Part 3." You'd think I would learn to outline such a project, or at least come up with a fair ending, before committing to a story like that, but noooo. Instead, I abandoned my blog ( Read more... )

I've talked to idiots before. I don't mean "people who disagree with me." I mean people who can't follow an explanation I give and can't explain why not.
There was this one guy in college a year or two ago who showed me a couple card tricks and was trying to remember the order of the cards for a certain trick. The dealer holds a stack of ten cards ( Read more... )

Last August, my brother offered to take me to a movie for my birthday present. It took me this long to decide which movie that would be (which may or may not tell you something new about how my mind works). I decided on Iron Man 2 and Kick-A**, with the understanding I would pay for one of my own tickets.
So that was fun, and I don't think it's too ( Read more... )

This post is obviously late. Good thing I'm not paid by the blog. Except that I'm not paid. Unless you count scholarships, or Social Security.
Anyway, TV waited until Summer to stop making new episodes. Though it shouldn't have mattered, since "Chuck," "Heroes," and now even "Numb3rs" keep web archives of recent episodes. They're just so ( Read more... )

It occurred to me on playing Pwong that a sufficiently hampered processor might be able to simulate quantum tunneling. Consider: a physical computer can only simulate a small proportion of the known universe's 10^33 particles, and then at a fraction of the pace. Pwong sometimes has twenty or more particles onscreen moving at a nice clip, including ( Read more... )

OK, these reactions are slow in coming. And since this last episode didn't resolve my questions, I might as well jot them in here.
So why is the puppeteer alive? I thought Sylar took his ability at Primatech, just before it burned to the ground. This confusion could be intentional, though, since it was claimed that Sylar had also died there; the ( Read more... )

Okay, I know I don't reveal a lot about myself here, but I must now declare I LOVE TAURS. They are a sort of weakness of mine, but I should probably put off a deep psychological discussion for later.
Anyway, the "Nip & Tuck" comic linked above (where I say I LOVE TAURS) is a distinct rarity. While N&T is a furry comic, it's generally slice-of-life ( Read more... )

Since I just turned in a big essay recently, I am very much almost done with school this year. This ought to give me a chance to catch up on my blogging. Here are some things that distracted me up to this finals week.
I really shouldn’t have any reason to know that the Caramelldansen Speedycake remix is sped up by a factor of the 4th root of 2, and ( Read more... )
