Today I am 26.

( Four years ago, my philosophy wore out. )

Protip: If you read the words "quantum tunneling" in a sentence explaining how someone broke the speed of light, someone's trying to hoodwink you.

Quantum tunneling does not imply that space was traversed.  In fact, everything quanta starts from the principles from discontinuity.  That object did NOT travel through space faster than the speed of ( Read more... )

I came home, and then fell asleep in front of my computer.  Normal sleep pattern it ain't, and I'm not sure how to fix it.  I feel locked in the rhythm from last week, which means I'm tired all day and up all night.  But now, I'm out at 6pm and up by midnight.  Worse yet, I may not want to fix it, as I'm not really sure when I'll have to do ( Read more... )

I am sincerely saddened to note I am a part of the problem.  I am an intellectual, and I have forgotten the macroeconomics I had once known.  Dr. Krugman brought this painfully to my attention.  Were the graphs really that simple?  Was the reasoning really so straightforward?  Surely this can't help explain the quagmire that we're beset to decode ( Read more... )

I can't figure out how I'm so far out of touch with these things (though I did know about the Ghibli game).  Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to work on my Blender script for exporting to OpenFOAM.

Star Trek: The Reboot is really good. As in I am hard-pressed to find anything I disliked about it (Above Iron Man, comparable to Serenity). I'll have to see it again this weekend. As usual, it's the details that make it more than a mere blockbuster sell-out. Look closely at the phasers. Read the warning labels. Note that the nuclear reactor ( Read more... )

When you hear people throwing out the term 'reboot', keep in mind that what the word actually means is 're-boot-strapping'. Or, in other terms, 'lifting yourself up by the shoelaces again'. Keep in mind that most people don't know how impossible that really is (or even what it means), and please keep in mind that we've already done it a few times ( Read more... )

I just realized it was Friday... I was off by one day almost all week.
