As I write this, the results are coming in from the Michigan and Arizona primaries. I haven’t looked to see which way it is trending, but I do want to speak to the announced, ‘Operation: Hilarity.’ Continue reading

A Quantitative Person in a Qualitative World.
I am by nature a person who likes things that can be measured. While I did horribly in any sort of mathematics beyond simple arithmetic, I adore doing science with its focus on numbers, measurement, and prediction. Continue reading
Headache Log 2/26/12
Developed a headache by afternoon, took a single dose of Treximet
Busy Busy Busy
I am hoping that next week turns out better than this last week. While I am happy to have added ‘Colossus’ to my network of home computers and anticipate lots of good writing at his keyboard, this has not been the best of weeks.
On Monday last week my sweetie-wife injured her shoulder. I’ve been playing the part of left arm for her, helping out in any way I can, but there is still sharp amount of pain for her.

If you are concerned about spoilers, please go read the book, it is in the public domain, then come back and join me. Continue reading
“This is the voice of World Control…”
For the last five or six years I have been using an iBook made in 2001 as my laptop computer. This little machine is gleaming white and has primarily been used as a writing platform during my breaks at my day job, running gaming software during my D&D game (3.5 thank you very much), and allowing me and my sweetie-wife access to the internet while away at conventions. Given the machine’s coloration and gaming duties when I had to name it for my network the natural choice seemed to be Gandolf. Continue reading
The Noise IS the Signal
I’m going to take two very different ideas and meld them together in that fusion that is best achieved by way of science-fiction. Continue reading
