    Mendelbrot Set

    So we've come to fractals in my computer science class. They're pretty fun to make. Remarkably simple equations. Anyhoo, I came across this song and figured those of you who are nerdy/mathematically-inclined would appreciate it ;) (warning: one bit of profanity, but it's for a good cause)...

    Relativity!

    Now because my poor brain over here at Mudd is being thoroughly twisted, you guys get to ponder some of this interesting stuff with me ;) Everyone heard of special relativity? It involves the idea that moving clocks run more slowly (so if I'm looking at my friend Bob, who is in a rocketship...

    Suite!

    Hey, so I'm finally moved into my dorm room (I managed to get a single room in a suite of three, which is pretty...well, you know). It's like roommates with privacy! And, while this does not mean that I will in fact have more time to post, it does at least mean that I now have a working...

    So long, all.

    I'm off for a couple weeks up the coast of California and maybe Oregon. Don't get into too much trouble without me :p

    Sleep schedule

    So what's your sleep schedule? Early to bed, early to rise? Late to bed? Always in bed? Hanging upside down from the rafters by day? Right now, I'm going to sleep around 3 am and waking up around noon. I keep meaning to do something about that, but I gotta say, a bizarre sleep schedule is one...

    Lincoln

    Continued from the "Best and Worst Presidents" thread. What do you think of Lincoln? Great president or terrible? Justified in fighting the Civil War? And so on...

    Another excellent bit of freakiness

    Well, maybe not freakiness, but pretty cool. It's the sort of thing that can only happen in real life, since if you wrote it the whole thing would be far too convenient. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson (who had been friends, then fought, then had something of a reconciliation and corresponded...

    Alrighty, in honor of all the goofy jokes being perpetrated...

    I feel I must respond with several punchlines :p Watch it a few times. You too shall understand. http://www.mypartypost.com/watchvideo/1889/Heineken_-_Why_Walked_Into_the_Bar

    Mistaken Identity

    Apparently, the BBC made a mistake and put this guy (a cab driver) on as a computer expert (same first name, some sort of mix-up like that). The guy answers the questions pretty gamely, but check out the expression on his face when he realizes that they're got the wrong guy. That might be the...

    Stephen Colbert

    Wow. I'm suprised no one else has posted about this. Did any one else see Stephen Colbert at the White House Correspondent's Dinner? Whatever you think of it (funny or shocking or just uncomfortable), that is a brave man. There's videos of it here...

    In honor of Pesach...

    The two-minute Haggadah (a Passover seder for the impatient) by Michael Rubiner Opening prayers: Thanks, God, for creating wine. (Drink wine.) Thanks for creating produce. (Eat parsley.) Overview: Once we were slaves in Egypt. Now we're free. That's why we're doing this. Four...

    stories that make you cry

    Books, movies, comics, songs, whatever. So, what do you cry at? (I know you all cry over something, 'fess up :P) Me, it was always the Lion King when I was little. Every time. And I just finished bawling over the Sandman series, which is what brought this whole train of thought into the...

    *happy dance*

    Baby Got Back

    For those of you fond of parodies. "I've wanted to cover this song for a long time, because it is excellent - there’s a wonderful message in there for those of you who have big butts. In the proud tradition of many white Americans who came before me I hereby steal and white-ify this thick and...

    Abortion

    All other things aside, where exactly does the Christian view that life begins at conception come from (if this is not the view of all Christian's, apologies)? Is it biblical or from somewhere else? Just curious.

    Anagrams

    Which are, for those who don't know, words or phrases made by rearranging letters in other words/phrases (without adding more letters or leaving any out). An example being dormitory = dirty room Anyone have any they've heard/made/just like? My current personal favorite is an anagram of part...

    Good for a laugh

    Problems in the World

    I have to write an essay on how I'd use technology to solve a problem in the world. Any suggestions for problems that people don't often think of? Just trying to get lots of ideas before I start writing. Thanks.

    Summer

    Yes, I am off for about two months (I leave Sunday) to the place I love more than any other: camp. Jewish camp, although that description doesn't begin to describe it. I'll be a counselor in training, should be fun :D So, anyway, what are you all planning to do with your summers?

    On having children...

    How important is it to you to have your own children, as opposed to adopting? If you couldn't have any, would it bother you a lot? Heck, d'you want kids at all at some point? (if you already have children, I'm still curious as to how you'd feel about this stuff) I'm looking at the prospect of...
