While knitting, I come upon the realization that English has the remnants of Base 12 counting in our words for the numbers. For those of you unfamiliar w/ Base counting, it is essentially the number you count up to before your digit moves over. Now modern mathematics is based on Base 10, often given for the fact that we have 10 digits. Though this ( Read more... )

Been a while, but I have some time now so figured I'd post something. Irregular updates are better than none at all I'd guess. This past week has been very eventful. Mad and I (though mostly Mad) have been cat sitting for a friend in Amherst while she and her family flee summer heat up in Canada. The house has three cats, each with their own quirks ( Read more... )

So even though we blew through Red Dwarf Season 3 in another day, I've been feeling rather meloncholy about my reviews. They seem more summaries than reviews. Sure I put a cute rating system in there, but all in all I feel disappointed with myself in that regard. As the old saying goes, I need to find myself the formula. The right bit of recap ( Read more... )

So we got a bit carried away and watched season 2 of Red Dwarf yesterday. I said they could pass by quickly. Before we get into Red Dwarf too much, I've got a few other small updates. About 3/4 done with my Doctor Who scarf. I feel that this is a sort of benchmark for knitters who are also sci-fi fans. Once I finish it up, I can go back to sock ( Read more... )

Well as I said these seasons and episodes are short. Here's the last 3 episodes of Season 1 for Red Dwarf.

So, getting off my lazy bum, I've decided to follow through on an earlier plan to post reviews and the like here to keep me on somewhat of a schedule. Given that we usually watch a DVD during meal times we can estimate anywhere from 1-3 reviews a day barring strange circumstances. We'll be beginning with the British cult sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf ( Read more... )

For those of you who haven't seen it and are interested in the up coming A Game of Thrones miniseries, you can check out the first 15 minutes of the show here: http://www.hbo.com/game-of-thrones/index.html. If you have no idea what A Game of Thrones, I'm optimistic HBO will be able to hook you, though the 15 minutes won't be too exciting. Sure ( Read more... )

Ever since around mid-December, my wife has taught me how to knit. In that time I've made 3 scarves, 2 hats, and 4 pairs of socks (albeit one is a worsted weight (which doesn't mean much to most of you, but it's thicker)). I've recently given in to something Madison does, that I haven't, do more than one project at a time ( Read more... )

These past two weeks have been rough. It started Friday afternoon when I found out my sister in law was in a bad car accident. Madison was quite worried, but I was holding out hope. Then the second phone call came, she wasn't going to get better. I knew I had to be strong though and do everything I could for Madison. I dropped my knitting mid- ( Read more... )
