As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don't know we don't know.

--Donald Rumsfeld in "Hart Seely's "Pieces of Intelligence""

 

I've started a new blog. Here's a quick FAQ.


Q. Why did you start a new blog?
A. I wanted to do a blog with my friend Sheila. She used to write articles in college, but she hasn't written too much lately. The fact that we're 'buddy-blogging' will help motivate both of us to keep posting

Q. Won't the output of THIS blog suffer?
A. Probably. But I'll be posting music files here, once I get my home studio set up again

Q. Okay, so what's the new blog?
A. It's called Hip Devil and it's located at http://hipdevil.blogspot.com

Posts about exponential growth....no wonder no one reads this nonsense!


Anyways, I made a quick 4 question Harry Potter quiz to stump my sister. It's limited to Goblet of Fire (book 4). Good luck!

I was just trying to 'waste some time' on Facebook and found that the signal to noise ratio has gotten REALLY bad. Facebook has, in my opinion, finally outgrown the "wow! what the heck is this neat new thing?" phase and is now firmly in a phase more like "what? what the heck is this thing in the way of me doing what I've always done". It has jumped the shark. Gmail, I'm looking at you, because you're getting dangerously close to this.

Anyone who has ever been taken in by a "and then THEY tell two friends" type pyramid scheme knows how exciting exponential change can be. But quite honestly, it doesn't really fit into your head. Or at least it doesn't fit into mine. In my mind, all change is linear. You come back 21 days later, there should not be millions of comments. When I look at all the crap on people's facebook profiles, and think about how long it would take me to understand, never mind APPRECIATE that nonsense, my brain simply shuts down and I freeze up faster than my new phone.

Speaking of which, Sprint charged me 57 dollars to replace my phone with a (presumably) refurbished model that was identical. They left me with the same battery and the same phone number. The new phone works fine while it works, but it does tend to freeze up sometimes.

Sprint is cool

Just wanted to say that I went back to the Sprint store with my frozen phone and they replaced it again, this time for free.

My phone broke in half this morning. The top flip part detached from the bottom flip part and the wire is ripped in half.

I don't know what I'm going to do, and I'm a bit panicked. I'm still not getting paid till like the 17th, so I can't afford a new anything right now, nevermind a new phone.

If you can't get ahold of me, know that I'm not ignoring you. And I'm also going to need your phone number again if I want to call you

Sigh,

I'm writing you this letter to inform you that <PORN SITE NAME CENSORED> was found on my child's iFruit computer this afternoon.

As you are well aware Sec. 117 of <US CODE> specifies that it is illegal to market, attempt to market, think about <PORN SITE NAME CENSORED> in the state of Maryland. And you can't do it in DC either.

I read in <NEWSPAPER NAME CENSORED> Ask Alice column yesterday that <PORN SITE NAME CENSORED> was censored by <a href="http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Bill_gates">Bill Gates</a> (brought to you by MICROSOFT) automatically by CyberNanny ME. Or was it XP.

Anyways, I would sincerely appreciate you reversing the charges for <PORN SITE NAME CENSORED> on my husband's credit card.

Sincerely,
<EX-WIFE NAME CENSORED>

PS. Ask Alice also told me that the XBOX 360• sites "gunk up the memorey (RAM)" more than the adult websites. But that might just be a myth propogated by Microsoft

PPS. Don't be Evil. Or at least have fun.
