  • Last night I had an insomnia attack, and so I spent several hours laying in bed thinking about squared numbers and Pythagorean Triples. In the process I discovered three ways to find Pythagorean Triples. As far as I know…
  • This presidential election is weird. I really don't like any of the candidates. I even disagree with Nader on Affirmative Action and Nuclear Power. At the same time, none of them are too bad. McCain was probably the best…
  • Yesterday I went to some thing for colleges with an emphasis on science and technology. There were five schools represented there; Caltech, Cornell, Columbia, Princeton, and another one that I can't remember the name of.…
  • After looking over the current presidential candidates, I have decided that I will support Ralph Nader. There are only a few places where I disagree with him. However, I definitely do not want McCain to be president, sin…

  • I'm in a terrible dilemma. Rock Band for the Wii comes out June 22nd, and I have been waiting for it for a while. However, I just discovered that the iPhone will only be $200 July 11th, and it has always been my dream to…
  • There is a logic/philosophical problem that I thought of that's really bothering me. What would happen if you have a video camera pointed a a television screen that was showing what the camera was recording, and this cam…
