Yesterday, I ran into an old customer I knew from my days at Metropolitan Market. We talked for a while about Feynmann, as we are both knew each other as astronomy/physics nerds, then the discussion went to the spirituality of math.
It was a good discussion. Sometimes, it's good to just take a step back and look at how math interacts with the world and nature- not just how we mess with it, but how it shows up randomly, and how patterns interact beautifully. It's pure, delicious, and beautiful.
I can't wait to teach it. Of course, by teaching it I imagine I'll be more or less forced to reduce it to bite sized lessons that are impossible to comprehend on a larger scale, but I'll try, when I have the opportunity, to show some of the amazing mathematical patterns found everywhere in nature.
Anyway, my fingernails are too long, and I need to trim them, as evidenced by the fact that my fingernails are hitting the keys from time to time, which is not an entirely pleasant sensation. Anyway, goodbye for now, blog/people who read my blog, if any.
Germboy, out/Peace.
