My humor blog's available for Dreamwidth, or if you prefer,as the raw RSS feed. If that doesn't work as a way for you to read it, why not try this heads-up to these posts instead?

So in hospitality there were a couple people playing this musical card game that looked interesting yet inexplicable. Each card somehow had coded to it a lick of music and putting them together on the deck that's all but invisible in the lighting produced song loops.

Taking Archimedes out for another bit of prowling around.

Here, my camera looks at the various lighting requirements of this frame, throws up its arms, and says, ``Yeah, good luck.''

Archimedes nestling down and trying to hatch the Tivo remote.

PS: My 2019 Mathematics A To Z: Hamiltonian, about a way of doing mathematical physics that puts in a lot of computational and conceptual overhead! Surely that pays off?
