Pool & minigolf

After Monday & Tuesday nights last week, at the gym, I felt rather sore and crappy for more or less the rest of the week… need to take it a bit easier as I ease back into physical activity, methinks. I went again tonight though, for an hour or so… tried out the rowing machines… Read more

Classifying modes of argument

I follow Paul Graham’s writings, because he has written some very influential works (e.g. Hackers & Painters, among others). He has a way of, in his essays at least, writing very clearly and very well. In particular, I like how he is able to classify and organise things, and then present it as if that… Read more

Forms only a mother could love

Tax time… grrr… I won’t bore the rest of the world – or myself – with the details, but the “How do you compare with everyone else?” bit at the end of H&R Block’s TaxCut process is somewhat interesting.

Statisticians have all the fun

As of about now, I have listened to my music collection for a sum stretch of 19 weeks, 2 days, 4 hours, 46 minutes and 34 seconds. Thereabouts. That’s about 4200 songs with a total play count of 49,855… 49,856, given one just finished playing while I wrote that. So a little under 12 plays… Read more

What value, a few words

Weekend… didn’t get up to a whole lot. Went to see Charlie Bartlett with Matt. It turned out to be as good as I’d hoped, which is to say, very good – set in a high school, but far from a teen movie. Clever, and funny. That aside… I worked. Yep, I suck. Well, I… Read more
