– i’ve never felt that bean counters were the best ones to make decisions. it’s not like i have anything personal against them, it’s just that the short-term focus of saving a dime here, a nickel there rarely makes sense in the long-term perspective. it inevitably creates customer...

fun with urban blight →
playtime amongst war-torn & ravaged cities isn’t just for third-world countries anymore. these replica toasted vehicles from urban collectibles are so life-like, you’d think an ied went off right next to you. but it didn’t. because you live in suburbia. i don’t know if it’s sad, disappointing or simply interesting that the realities of so many people, american or...

“covered in snow” by william fitzsimmons is available for free download on his myspace page, so get it now! (it was too big to post here, sry) this admirably bearded baritone is one of my new favorites. the music flows & his voice glides along such that it’s difficult not to stop what i’m doing & listen. in his own words, he sounds like “the melancholic but...

– Wise words from Bill Israel (via cameron) Holla. I’ve been trying to get together my thoughts on tumblr based on the recent protests, but I think Bill put it best. For me, tumblr isn’t about randomly reblogging or saying “hey, I found this!” (which has merit in its own...
Math Pickup Lines!
Euclid said that two parallel planes don’t touch. Let’s go back to my room and study some non-Euclidean geometry. Why don’t you be the numerator and I be the denominator and both of us reduce to simplest form? Can I plug my solution into your equation? Huygens’ favorite curves were cycloids, but my favorite curves are yours. Much of our shared knowledge was discovered in the East before being...

my socks don't fit
i changed the title of my tumbl blog today. “falling out of my head” didn’t make sense when i thought about it, because most of the stuff i post here isn’t originally from my head, and “things i found & thoughts on said things” doesn’t quite have a ring to it. it has a ring, but not quite the one i’m looking for. that, and my socks honestly...

oops.
my co-worker accidentally mixed up instant messages, informing our boss of 2girls1cup when she meant to reply to another co-worker. horrifying embarrassment has ensued.

in the vein of my wikiventure: You know how you sometimes start on a wikipedia page and suddenly find that, some (greater than you expected) time later, you’re on a completely unrelated page, having followed a long string of interesting or semi-interesting links? Well, Ninjawords is like that, only with words. Its near-perfect use of AJAX makes it a breeze to use. I started with...
