The world cup is coming up, so our house has orange flags, and we've purchased ultra mega digital cable to get everything in HD (just for the month). Discovery channel HD is my new crack. All of a sudden, you can actually see the scene! It's totally compelling. I can't seem to look away. -

What has got me jazzed...
Paper submitted to ICNP and I think it's actually quite good and quite solid.
Area exam coming along nicely, for once.
Juggling club received its shipment from Renegade, and that's nice.
But none of this is what I'm excited about.
I'm excited that I got 18 catches of 5 clubs!!! Woo!!! -
Scattered things...
- I remain skeptical of quite a few things that Hillary Clinton stands for - increased censorship is pretty much always wrong, and she's too willing to roll over and find the "middle ground" between the centrist position and the loony right - but linking the federal minimum wage to the congressional wage is a stroke of genius.

Work. But not mine. I don't think.
So, a while back, a friend said that she was having a tough time at work, and I responded:I'm pretty sure that most people's relationship to work is an abusive one.

Estimating homelessness via too-clever thinking and long train rides
Grar. Too much to do and think about and too much too much too much. So here's an idea I had on the train this weekend...

The resulting number is far too high. ( Read more... ) -
Why are we in Iraq?
I was reading an argument and somebody suggested that if we disagreed with the Iraq war that we contact our legislators and tell them that we disagreed with the policy behind it. The policy was named in this post "strategic preemption". But that's not right ( Read more... ) -

A while back, I poked at a diverting math problem for a bit, and then ended up submitting it to The online encyclopedia of integer sequences where it got accepted. At the same time, it lit a fire in jes5199's brain. Now it has mutated into some kind of crazy bizarro super speed demon of something: ( Read more... )
