Turtles all the way down!

"Turtles All The Way Down" by Kenneth Rougeau

Ran into this thing in a Fark thread, which I found curious because I was playing Borderlands, and there's a cool little easter egg that I found back in April:


Plus there's of course, Wikipedia's explanation of Turtles All The Way Down.

  1. Hello,

    Thanks so much for including my Turtles All The Way Down artwork in your blog post. I did notice, however, that the image is linked to itself. Would it be at all possible to change it so that the artwork links directly to my online shop? In this manner, anyone who might want to could find and perhaps purchase the artwork for themselves. It would mean a great deal to me. The address to my shop is http://krougeau.artfire.com

    Thanks & have a wonderful day!

  2. You rock, thanks so much!! BTW, I'm about to install Borderlands. I'm a long-time die-hard gamer & can't believe I hadn't seen this game... Now I've gotta check it out, if only for the easter egg, lol.

On sleep deprivation and Incan Monkey Gods

From: Dilbert comic strip for 08/03/1992 from the official Dilbert comic strips archive. I was trying to show this strip to a coworker who is dangerously toying with the harsh mistress that is Insomnia. What shocked me is how quickly I was able to look up the strip, which was published when he was just 11 years old, and two weeks before my just-out-of-college ass shipped out to US Army Basic Training.

The Black Hole

If this was a minigolf hole, you can't reach B from A. Ever. If this was a room lined with mirrors, and you lit a candle at point A, you can't see it from B, not even reflected.  Update: I guess I didn't explain this all the way through. You can't reach B from A with just one stroke, there's no direct line between them, and there is no way to bounce the ball (assuming perfect conditions). Thanks to Ben for pointing this obvious error. 

Goodbye Blackberry 8530, hello Samsung Intercept (both Virgin Mobile USA)

Got the phone switching bug again, and this time I am going to try to see if I can live with an Android phone . According to Virgin Mobile, they will be upgrading their Samsung Intercept to 2.2 froyo sometime in Spring, since I am completely new to Android I am not too worried about it yet. And no, I am not interested in a jailbreak. The dots are used for the unlock pattern, which after very little time becomes instinctive, much easier than having to remember a password.  The new phone is slightly longer and narrower than my Blackberry 8530. The back cover is as flimsy.  The Samsung Intercept is of course thicker since it has a slide-out keyboard.  I haven't measured them, but the new keyboard feels at least twice as wide as the one in the Blackberry. The only problem is that due to the USB port being on the top of the phone, and I am a lefty, it is really damn hard for me to type if I am charging the phone. I imagine right handed people have the same ki...
