• Freedom Fight

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 112
  While we’re on the subject of arbitraries, I have a couple of tabs to dispose of. First is an article [ Link ] from Scientific American about introvert aversion in modern society. It is not too bad, despite the source, because the article is an interview and evidently suffered from not too excessive censorship. I ...

• Hostess Hysteria

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 112
  I ran across this cartoon [ Link ] yesterday, and was struck by how the second frame captured our natural disposaphobia. Or in this case, consumaphobia. Ignoring for a moment the implications for the causation of survivalists, a somewhat larger idea advanced is that most forms of mental whackedness are matters of ...

• Accustomed States

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 112
  I ran across this cartoon [ Link ] yesterday and it gave me pause to think about the whole expound/explain-science-to-the-public thing. The word “appreciate” in the last frame set this off. I recall when I was studying General Relativity and the story was related about some journalist asking Sir Arthur ...

• Canonical’s Reich

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 112
  One of my colleagues, Magnetic Inductance Force, made a statement on Countenance-Scroll the other day about “the social trajectory moving into a region where all advertisements are false and predatory.” I asked him yesterday why he used the word “false” and he basically answered that he had hoped the bogs ...

• Sundae Pourri

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 112
  It being sundae and a day of imposed rest since the religious discrimination is heavy upon the land, at least here in Greater Metropolitan Arab and probably throughout the Old Confederacy, time is arrived to clear tabs. I rather hate to admit that this has been a very tabbing week. Happily most of them do not merit ...

• Closed Path

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 112
  Guk! Exasperating morning. I got up at my usual hour, not to go off to gym, which is closed today because of religionist discrimination, but to swap out KVM switches on my desk boxes. My old unit had been acting up so I had sprung for a new unit a couple of months ago. The problem is that the shelves where I keep my ...

• Adjectival Half Life

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 112
  As I was sitting in my motorcar this morning in the parking lot at gym waiting for the opener staffer to arrive, I noticed that the eBoard of the Briindlee (sic) Mountain High Shule was still displaying a message wishing readers a “Happy New Year”. Last night as I was listening to the 1700 news on one of ...

• Gym Permutations

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 112
  Week in is now really begun, although in running about a bit yesterday morning I noticed that very few commercial organizations were observing the holy day. Greed rather than racism, apathy rather than tradition, I suspect. This morning the educationalists were back at gym, at least the few who come on tuesday. In ...

• Positive Cynicism – The long night of Twinkie the Kid

  
  HoboTrashcan — Authority: 109
  Aaron R. Davis The night is cold and dark as Twinkie the Kid walks into his office and closes the door behind him. He uncaps his brandy, pours himself a generous helping and sits down in his contoured office chair. Removing his cowboy hat, he heaves a long, deep sigh, exhaling all he can before downing his drink ...

• Thucydides Today

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 112
  Week in, but not really. Today is a holy day, the observance of the birthday anniversary of Martin Luther King (Yankee guvment) and Robert Edward Lee (Muntgum guvment.) The shules are closed so the only educationalists at gym this morning were the few dedicated and I was unable to ask whether the holiday was for ...

• Divive Stupidity

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 112
  It being sundae and most of the good folk of the Old Confederacy, and Greater Metropolitan Arab, off to services in the next while, it seemed fitting to consider an article [ Link ] in the Wall Street Journal this week. The article, written by one actual football player about another, deals with the matter of ...

• Not Lying

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 112
  Yesterday I ran across this cartoon [ Link ] and immediately thought about the nature of information. Inherently, for a variety of reasons, information is corrupted and therefore in some degree is false, to use the traditional and inaccurate way of expressing matters, or inaccurate, which seems the best we can do ...

• Celebrity Research Perversion

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 112
  Once more into week out and once more time to begin the culling of the tabs. There is one article [ Link ] that I had commented on earlier this week but for some reason it refused to recede. Then I got innundated on a couple of social sites with posts (?) by angry grad students and post-docs who had been pinged by ...

• Tablet Feudalism

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 112
  Yesterday, while I was off in Nawth Alibam’s Shining City on the Hill, one of my colleagues, Magnetic Inductance Force, sent me this article [ Link ] by Jason Hiner entitled “Tablets: What Amazon and Apple know that all the CES tablet peddlers are still missing”. What they are missing is slavery. In effect, ...

• Contemporary Politics

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 112
  Conservative is a synonym for Barbarian; Liberal is a synonym for Courtier. Why am I brought to think about the English Civil War?

  Latest Information Of Today's Gadget — Authority: 118
  Attending the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas has meant that I’ve had to reacquaint myself with a gadget that is guaranteed to wipe the smile from the face: the Blackberry smartphone.While I maintain a healthy cynicism for the Apple iPhone 4 that is my everyday handset, it’s hard to deny it provides an ...

• Ohio parents plead guilty in sons cancer death

  
  The Barefoot Bum — Authority: 460
  Ohio parents plead guilty in sons cancer death The parents of an 8-year-old Ohio boy who died of cancer in 2008 have pleaded guilty to attempted involuntary manslaughter in his death. Monica Hussing, 37, and William Robinson Sr., 40, face up to eight years in prison each; sentencing is scheduled for February 16. ...

• Consumer Toolism

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 112
  One of the joys of living in Nawth Alibam is that you get to observe how unwisdom-ed and whacked most homo sapiens are. Geographically we have an epidemic of a particular form of mental illness of the religionist sort. This takes two forms: christianism; and footballism; although the combination is not unknown. The ...

• Cherryday Cheer

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 112
  OK, it’s cherry day again and time to cull tabs, so if you’re not in the mood for potpourri cynicism slide on by. The first attractor is an article [ Link ] on how Sao Paulo has been surviving since it banned outdoors advertising. Quite frankly, the service that provided the article is rather Pollyanna-ish in ...

• Emancipation Drawing

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 112
  One of my colleagues, Magnetic Inductance Force, sent me this cartoon [ Link ] with the comment “Advertisement for Linux.”  I have to agree although I have my doubts that the bogs will comprehend.
