The author's present an exegesis (for laymen) of Kurt Gödel's 1931 paper: "On Formally Undecidable Propositions of Principia Mathematica and Related Systems"
Gödel basically showed that mathematics is not finite. (as far as I can tell... you shouldn't quote me on that :P)
Gödel's conclusions ...

Blockwriter
Software concept (dang, no free download) that allows you to write like you would on a typewriter. (i.e. no delete)
Thomas told me once that that was good for writers (or something).

Is it just Word Press that doesn't let you do that, or html?
Either way, it is dumb. Sometimes breaks are part of the quotation.

I was thinking today, and what I really meant when I was whining about my brother giving me a hard time about my question is that Google is only as good as the sites it returns, and just because a site is at the top of the list doesn't ...

Take it!
I got "60.74951%- Extreme Geek"
Although, some of the questions like: "I want to be..." I creatively shifted to "I have wanted to be..."
If you pressed me on the "I know who X is" questions I might fold... But I have heard of them and knew who they ...

Very cool speech. Makes me want to read Prey.

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and,
The light that you shine can be seen.
Baby, I compare you ...

Well, when youre sitting there
In your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folks that you know
Well I hope you wont see me
In my ragged company
You know I could never be alone
Take me down little susie, take me down
I know you think youre the queen of the underground
And you can send ...

How come I can run for 45 minutes and almost 4 miles on an elliptical machine and never feel winded, but when I run about 100 feet out to the mail box and back, it takes me 30 seconds to get back to breathing normally again?

Last night I had a notable dream. Most of the time my dreams, if I remember them at all dissapear within 5 minutes. But this one (or three) was different. I'm not sure which one was first, they all seem to have been tied together, but I don't remember how ...

One thing I remember from my time at SJC is that writing down what you have to say has a way of making you think differently. I've had all sorts of thoughts that disapeared when I tried to write them down and defend ...

I have finished about 1/3 of the bible. It has been a while since I read Samuel, Kings, Chronicles. I vote that someone put out a Landmark edition* of those books. Maybe that could be my Master's thesis... I guess though I'd have to be an OT scholar, and I'd ...

Remember, Remember,
the 5th of November
Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot
I see no reason
Gunpowder Treason
Should Ever be forgot
It is comical to me that the Brittish would name this day after one of the guys (no pun intended) who was responsible for the Gunpowder Plot...
This day was celebrated with burning Guy Fawkes ...
