A wonderful song on the 1975 Queen album Night at the Opera is ’39. This lovely jig has a context deeply rooted in physics. It was written by Dr. Brian May, guitarist for Queen (“Another One Bites the Dust”, “We Are The Champions”, etc. etc. etc.), who finished his Ph.D. in astrophysics at Imperial College, […]

I’ve described myself as “liberal leaning with a Libertarian streak.” In short, I believe social responsibility and fiscal responsibility are not mutually exclusive. We can have it all, but it takes a careful implementation of both traditional (socially) liberal and (fiscally) conservative philosophies to make it work in practice. In this sense, I describe myself […]

VPN被封, 翻不了墙的外贸要怎么做-商桥新外贸:2021-2-13 · 翻墙可伍，我说了才算。 至于为什么工信部要出台这么一个政策，大体给出的解释是层层转租、违规自建网络基础设施会给国家网络和信息安全带来隐患。 这个咱伊暂且不管它。 VPN一断，连不上国外网站，很多人就瞎了。 当然瞎的最厉害的是我伊这群做外贸的

Ok, I could go on and on about the current bizarre political-financial situation in America as we ride up to the election. But, frankly, I’m spent. I’ll spare you a rant. Instead, I’d like to pay a brief tribute to Jaco Pastorious, arguably the greatest and most influential bass player of his generation. He suffered […]

Here is a funny Comedy Central Daily Show “news” report starring Steve Carell discussing the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) on Long Island. The piece aired June 28, 2000, long before Steve was a Superstar. While watching the piece, keep in mind the madcap doomsday discussion from my last post […]

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva Switzerland successfully performed a diagnostic today and rotated a proton beam around the ring in each direction (clockwise and counterclockwise). This is a diagnostic step before performing actual collisions at full energy in the coming weeks and months. With a circumference of 17 miles, the LHC […]

Governor Palin and her family celebrated their unwed 17-year-old daughter’s choice not to have an abortion. From Marketblog, “We’re proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents,” said Palin. Obviously, despite their otherwise pro-life rhetoric in other contexts, the right to choose is still an important part of her […]

I would characterize myself politically as a complex mix of socially liberal and economically conservative. I try to keep my exact positions non-partisan and evaluate each policy situation case-by-case. I admire the social left for its heart, but don’t think they usually go about achieving their goals in the most efficient way. The government (at […]

In high school, I played bass in a band called Osiris from the fall of 1984 through graduation in 1986. Back in May of 2006, my old bandmates pulled together a couple short reunion shows that coincided with our 20-year SFHS class reunion at the Little Fox theater in Redwood City, CA. We definitely had […]

Why People Believe Weird Things: Pseudoscience, Superstition, and Other Confusions of our Time (2nd ed. 2002) by Michael Shermer Cryptohedonological book rating: A “Science, measured against reality,” as Einstein remarked, “is primitive and childlike — and yet it is the most precious thing we have.” Science is the tool we, as humans, use to test […]

Back in January of this year, my longtime pal Isorski posted a blog about how Neil Peart, the drummer and lyricist for Rush, wrote him in 1984, returning a bit of fan mail. At the time of his blog post, Isorski had recently submitted his postcard to the Postcards from Neil section of Andy Olson’s […]

I recently watched Tenacious D‘s movie The Pick of Destiny. It was a sloppy, scatological train-wreck. Intentionally so. And the remarkably talented director/musician/actor/D-fan-collaborator Liam Lynch makes that perfectly clear. But I loved the movie anyway. The music somehow stole my heart, and subsequently sold it to Satan (played by Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighers). […]

Yesterday, my friend and colleague, Dr. Sarah Blyth from the University of Cape Town, was awarded the prestigious RHIC and AGS Thesis Award (to be posted soon) for her 2007 Ph.D. dissertation entitled: “Using the Phi Meson to Probe the Medium Created in Au+Au Collisions at RHIC.” Since 1999, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) […]

The Phoenix Mars polar lander successfully touched down near the Martian north pole on Sunday May 25, 2008 around 4:35 in the afternoon PDT. More photos can be found here. I had the pleasure of attending a real-time event hosted by the Cal Poly Astronomy Club and led by my friend and colleague Dr. John […]

As the Mythbusters might say: WARNING, SCIENCE CONTENT. Proceed at your own risk. What is a quantum mechanical wave function? This discussion recently came up at work in the form of the following question: is the particle (e.g. an electron) the same thing as the wave function describing it? The question may have some unresolvable […]

“Physics elevated to an art form” is Oakley’s recent marketing slogan. Right. Like physics “needs” to be elevated from its lowly status as an all-encompassing theoretical and experimental framework describing all physical phenomenon to the “art” of sports equipment. And if indeed there was some subjective human aesthetic missing in that lowly omni-descriptional status of […]

Cryptohedonological rating: A- Station agent is a quiet, independent film directed by Thomas McCarthy which explores how three very different characters cope with loss. Each overcomes inherent barriers due to personality and circumstance. Fin, played by the brilliant and charismatic Peter Dinklage, is a dwarf, accustomed to a life of routine and solitude. He openly […]

In the tradition of the Beatles’ famous 1967 Our World BBC broadcast of All You Need Is Love, and the Rutles’ 1978 mockumentary All You Need Is Cash, Beatallica has recently released their gloriously metal-plated parody All You Need Is Blood. In the spirit of the original message, where frolicking hippies could be seen wearing […]

End of One Neighborhood Mystery, and the Start of Another About a month ago, I saw the GCK striding by in the early evening with two middle-aged ladies walking about a block behind him. Sure enough, when I pulled into my driveway, the green garbage can, placed out the night before, was put away for […]

Cryptohedonological rating: D+ Tyler Cowen’s book Discover Your Inner Economist is a hodge podge of mostly creepy applications of pseudo-economics which, as a stream of anecdotes, should have remained blog entries. Freakonmics, by Stephen D Levitt, is a book written in the same vein, but which somehow manages to keep the topics creepy, focused, and […]

There have been two big losses for geekdom this month. Thanks to JLK for bringing these to my attention. Gary Gygax Gary Gygax, co-creator of the original fantasy role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) back in 1973, died March 4 at the age of 69. The positive influence D&D and role playing games in general […]

Of course! After all these years! Why hadn’t I noticed the resemblance before St. Patrick’s Day 2008? Coincidence? I think not! Ben Cooper mask photo from stevemandich.com As part of the coverup, I will reveal that, up close, the real “1974 Evel Knievel Ben Cooper Halloween Mask on Mars” was designed to look more like […]

Back in November 2007, I had fun musing about finding specific numbers in the famous irrational number pi. Since pi is an infinitely long irrational number, whose digits are essentially random, one can find any number within its digits with some probability. This even includes having the entire text of every book you’ve ever read, […]

And now for something completely different: If you have a few free moments in your day, visit Google Books and take a look at (or download for free) A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue by Francis Grose, Esq. 1788. The author definitely has an ironic last name in this context. The book is sort […]

The Garbage Can Mystery has (mostly) revealed its innermost workings. Saturday, the day that I first saw the kid turn the cans around on the security camera, I went outside within a minute of his activity and began looking for him. I walked quickly through the neighborhood and eventually caught up to him, recognizing his […]

For several months I’ve been plagued by a mystery: someone has been tampering with my garbage cans. I know what you are thinking: so what — and why do I care. I’m sympathetic. I would have said the same thing even just two years ago to someone yammering like I am now. However, now these […]

Happy new year 2008 from South Africa. My wife and I decided to fly south for the winter and visit our good friends Mark and Sarah in Cape Town. We spent the stroke of midnight in an airplane somewhere over the ocean west of Brazzaville, Congo and south of Sao Tome. After our 22 hour […]

In honor of the Winter Solstice, here is a public service announcement from Geddy Lee about the perils of winter tobogganing.

Read below regarding the original nomination, but see the Feb 10, 2008 update Geddy Lee and Steve Vai Heckle Springsteen: News at 11 regarding the results. I usually leave the cool music news to Isorski or Dr. John. But this time I am pleased to be the bazillionth to announce that Rush has been nominated […]

My good friend Isorski has recently twice blogged, once in the context of the new Led Zeppelin XM station, about a fun nonsense song we did back in 1985 called Hats Off To Charles Obscure (HOTCO). You should be able to play the song inline by clicking on the little headphones next to the song […]

The number pi (aka 3.1415926…) is a transcendental number most commonly known as the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle. But there is a lot more to this number than most people know. Many books have been written on the properties of pi and there are many web sites dedicated to […]

Sometime on Tuesday morning October 23, 2007 (PST), Google crossed the Stock Price of the Beast per share. It started at roughly 85 in 2004. Do No Evil. Sure ;)>

I know I’m joining the debate on this one about 10 years too late, but the Han Shot First controversy has been a memeic stain on the Star Wars franchise since the 1997 Special Edition of Star Wars: Episode IV. Greedo, a bounty hunter working for Jabba the Hut, finds the fugitive Han Solo in […]

Culturally we frequently use basic arithmetic to emphasize when a point is self evident: “its as basic as 2+2=4.” We also use a little twist on it to point out when someone is being absurd: “next you are going to tell me 2+2=5.” Ok. So no one really uses those phrases. But I think the […]

Is large scale incompetence terrorism? Ok, quite a blustery, overstated title. I’m not talking about the guy at work who, after struggling for three years, still doesn’t know how to print documents from his computer nor the “professional” copy dude who still can’t copy double-sided printouts. Nor am I talking about retail clerks who can’t […]

On a recent episode of the show Democracy Now, they reported Pepsi bowed to the demands of activists and made a rather embarrassing admission: the source for their Aquafina bottled water is city tap water! Now WHO’S tap water is a different question — probably local to the individual bottling plants, but this is still […]

After that last heady post on teleology (perhaps overly advertising panspermia) here’s a lighter video bit from the school of non sequitur funk as only Bill Laswell can do with the project Praxis: Transmutation (Mutatis Mutandis) circa 1992. Praxis is Bill Laswell, Buckethead, Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell, Brain, and Nextman Flip. Animal Behavior is clearly […]

Teleological arguments for the existence of god are my favorite theological debates. Not because I agree with them in how they are typically applied. And not because they are good logical arguments as usually outlined. Rather, amongst all the approaches to “prove” or explain god’s existence, teleological arguments 1) have a hint of evidence-based thinking […]

Buckethead is one of the most obscure yet talented guitarists of my generation. I first encountered his work on one of Bill Laswell’s projects called Praxis Transmutation (Mutatis Mutandis) in 1992. For over twenty years, as part of his act, he has worn a KFC bucket on his head and a mysterious porcelain-like white mask. […]

I would like to thank Thomas Clark of the Center for Naturalism and author of Encountering Naturalism: A Worldview and Its Uses for the email below regarding my (naive and physics-centeric)

There was an interesting interaction that occurred recently on a podcast called Faith and Freethought (FF). The host, Richard Spencer was discussing the book The God Part of the Brain with author Matthew Alper, when around 40 minutes into the show I found myself very suddenly challenged intellectually by an exchange they had. FF is […]

Pascal’s Wager is usually stated something like this (from http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/theism/wager.html): If you erroneously believe in God, you lose nothing (assuming that death is the absolute end), whereas if you correctly believe in God, you gain everything (eternal bliss). But if you correctly disbelieve in God, you gain nothing (death ends all), whereas if you erroneously […]

Cryptohedonological movie rating: B- Hubris is an entertaining, small budget short film written and directed by Gary King. The directing and editing are amusing, if a bit stiff and stage-formal at times (except for an intoxicating and comical speed-dating montage, which was apparently improvised). Frederik Goris plays Barry, an amusing nebbish drawn into a sinister […]
