i went camping for the long weekend

...and witnessed the miracle of two people whose thoughts and words anticipate each other and whose bodies no longer demand respect of space.

And I thought it was beautiful.

Piano Makes you Crazy.

The BBC has recently reported strong evidence that being a piano player, particularily a classical piano player, will probably make you go bonkers.

To learn more, please read this story on the BBC's website.

Also, why has no one commented on my post about watermelon carving? Were they not sufficiently exquisuite? I found the last few especially jaw dropping.

oh man!

This site reminded me that I used to want Wonder Woman's invisible plane.

And omigod! LEGO musical instruments!!! OH WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the multiple blog problem

I guess it isn't too much of a problem, except that I don't know who reads which one. So, in order that an event be publicized, I will direct you to the way i see it. The lucky people in my life will soon get an e-mail from me with an invitation to wander the city and look at stuff that others have seen.

Holy Good Grief!

Time Traveler Convention at MIT
MIT students are holding a Time Traveler Convention next Saturday in the hope that some visitors from the future might show up. I think it's a paradoxtastic plan!

Great idea, I'd love to help! What should I do?
Write the details down on a piece of acid-free paper, and slip them into obscure books in academic libraries! Carve them into a clay tablet! If you write for a newspaper, insert a few details about the convention! Tell your friends, so that word of the convention will be preserved in our oral history! A note: Time travel is a hard problem, and it may not be invented until long after MIT has faded into oblivion. Thus, we ask that you include the latitude/longitude information when you publicize the convention.

You can also make an absolute commitment to publicize the convention afterwards. In that case, bring a time capsule or whatever it may be to the party, and then bury it afterwards.

Can't the time travelers just hear about it from the attendees, and travel back in time to attend?

Yes, they can! In fact, we think this will happen, and the small number of adventurous time travelers who do attend will go back to their "home times" and tell all their friends to come, causing the convention to become a Woodstock-like event that defines humanity forever.
