Dumb thoughts

by

If someone says something that makes everyone within earshot instantly dumber…
And if there are many people saying dumb things that make everyone within earshot instantly dumber…
And if there is a God…
And if God is always listening…

Then God must be really dumb.

Explains a lot.

Listening – The Swing

Studying – Calligraphy

by

This month I am studying “Calligraphy.”

Rhydfelin has a one night a week workshop in calligraphy and I really want to improve my hand-writing.

The workshop is a 4-month part time workshop. One night a week, three hours per night.

This will be my first month.

Update: Decided to log how many hours I actually spend each month studying and reading. And also how much I estimate the class requires based on total class room hours, though I suspect I will have to fudge that a bit if the course requires homework, et cetera. So, 18 hours this month, and I estimate the class is 52 hours long.

Slow roll-out

by

In a national disaster relief effort should we prioritze taking blood from fat people more than thin people?

Technically fat people have more blood to give.

Someone who weighs 300lb vs 150lb would have 150ml of extra blood sloshing around in them.

Think of it, in a national disaster we would mobilize (though slowly, and with a lot of sweating, and puffing and swearing) an army of obese individuals to rapidly contribute to the national blood supply.

I am not saying my logic isn’t flawed, but it is an interesting mental exercise.

Vaccinate often. Vaccinate early.

Voting is kind of like getting vaccinated.

It doesn’t have much effect on the entire population if only one person does it.

But if enough people do it, it stops some bad stuff from happening.

P.S. Don’t forget to vote!

Listening – Reckoning

by

R.E.M.-Reckoning

 

This week I am listening to “Reckoning” by R.E.M.

Observations after listening: This is a very “live” sound they have captured for what is effectively a studio album.

I wonder if it has anything to do with Don Dixon and Michael Stripe as it seems to carry over a lot from their previous album and sounds different to their live tracks.
