27th March 2009Is It Ok For My Christian Daughter To ‘M’?This is one of the funniest articles that I've read in a long time. Read it. "When I reached in her [my daughter's] undergarment drawer and I will be frank, my heart dropped as I found one of those electronic phallic objects in it. They are used to ‘M’ and I didn’t know how to handle the situation." [...] "The night I decided to talk to my daughter about all this, I heard well…I heard reason to not go in the room. I believe she was using the device then. Is this really alright behavior for a good girl or do I need ...

26th March 2009Cold SnapI've just watch the 20th episode of the 3rd season of Heroes. It was a decent episode; the special effects were stunning, but it felt more like a setting up post for future plot lines. Several heroes had changes to their powers, and two people died. After having just watch 4 seasons of BSG, nothing is going to sadden me that much, but I was particularly fond of one of the characters. This was Bryan Fuller's first proper episode back - I think he was the main writer of this one. There's one lingering problem that I have with Heroes now, ...

25th March 2009GardeningLast week, the weather was really nice. It was still only half-way through March, yet the Sun was out and warm on the skin, and the clouds were gone. The only things that destroyed the illusion of summer was the lack of leaves on the trees, and the lower temperature of course (though you couldn't tell that from the inside). There was even an Augustine haze in the sky. So what did I decide to do? Hey, don't give me that look, so I may have given the game away in the title: I gardened. My mother and I thought it ...

24th March 2009SynesthesiaHave you heard of synesthesia? Wikipedia has. My sister was home for the weekend. She's in the middle of a psychology degree, and I always like to chat with her about interesting things we've learnt. She was particularly interested in some of my books, like "Did You Spot The Gorilla?" by Richard Wiseman, amongst others. This time, we got talking about synesthesia. I'd read briefly about this before - where people ascribe personalities to numbers of letters, or associate certain colours with letters, for example. I think I learnt about it from a documentary about a guy with Asperger's Syndrome ((Ass-burgers)) - ...

23rd March 2009Battlestar Galactica: CompleteShiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! SHIT! In the time since I last wrote about watching BSG, I have seen the whole third and fourth seasons. There is so much to talk about: so many spoilers to squeal about, so many developments to consider, so many philosophical points to take in - as well as a whole lotta AWESOME to deal with. This weekendm I watched the series finale, and I really want to write about it. I really do. But I can't. I need more time. I've not finished processing everything yet, I'm still connecting dots and I'm still forming my opinions about every part of the ...

I'm a mathematician, but apart from that, I'm a fairly normal guy. I used to write a blog - this blog. I write (wrote) about whatever is on my mind. It can get quite personal sometimes.
