If you're a geek and like math...


... you'll prob like this:

Let x = .999... (9's ad infinitum)

10x = 9.999... (9's ad infinitum)

10x - x = 9x

10x - x = 9.999 - .999 = 9

9x = 9

x = 1

Pavlov's Dog


Not sure If this guy's name is Pavlov or if this is even his dog.  However It is a good example of classical conditioning.

Who are you what did you do with Comcast?


Today, Jerome and I were complaining about how slow the internet was.  It ocured to me that it probably should be slow.  We have a lot of stuff going on.  Up to 5 simultaneous people (3 on avg.) using the web, backups running, software syncing files to remote storage, etc.  So I decided I'd call Comcast.  Here is how it went down.

Me: I need more bandwidth.
Comcast: It will be $10 extra a month to triple it
Me: I'll take it
Comcast: You're modem will reboot in 30 seconds, and you'll have it.
Me: Ok thanks

Sure enough in a few seconds we were flying again.  This is exactly how customer service should work.  Can you here me now?

If you want a convertible, buy a Merc.  Whatever you do, don't buy a car with a rear engine.  There is no place to put the roof...

Someone with more tme...


...needs to build a twitter clone on a real platform.

They probably have some API's that would allow you to echo tweets to twitter (when its up), to help beat the network effect.  If someone came up with a good name I'd consider working on it.
