xkcdexplained:

A man attempts to prove (by hand) the Collatz Conjecture which states that you can pick any whole number and repeatedly half it if it is even, or multiply it by three and add one if it is odd and you will eventually get the number one.

Since this requires a lot of work, the man is never available to spend time with his friends. For this reason his friends eventually stop attempting to hang out with him since he will almost assuredly be working on the Collatz Conjecture and thus will not be able to join them in their activities.

Olympics

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 22:08:31 -0500

After how well the summer games went in China with tons and tons of live footage when the time zone differential was huge one would expect NBC to carry lots of live coverage when the winter games kicked off in the country we share a border with in a city that is on PST. But what did we get? Horrible commentary from the likes of Costas and Collinsworth and Dan Patrick. I mean hell wheres Tony Dungy, Olberman and the rest of the sunday night football crew at this rate. And then throw in the fact that its damn near impossible to find live coverage of things even in primetime! I could rant about how NBC is going to show ice dancing instead of the USA vs Canada game on sunday night too but whats the point. When is this horrible NBC Olympic contract up? I want to fall in love with Olympic TV coverage again. Help?

Whats wrong with the buffalo sabres?

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 22:08:49 -0500

Okay, so the sabres are in free fall headed into the olympic break, here are my thoughts:

-Every year we seem to hear the argument that Ruff has been the coach for too long and that players just block him out, how many years without a cup can we just shrug this argument off? I have zero doubt that what he says goes right through the heads of Roy, Vanek, Connelly and hell even Rivet who hasn’t been here that long.

-Speaking of Roy and Vanek, trade them both. Look you took the chance giving them big deals, its not working, they aren’t leading, they aren’t producing like you hoped, time to dump them.

-Rivet: I never knew why they gave this guy the captain C to begin with, do you even realize hes on the ice most nights?

-Myers: I really worry as we get late into the season that Ruff has over played him. Has he been amazing? Absolutely! But god I worry about him down the stretch.

-Miller: I really really hope his head has just been in the olympic cloud for the past 2-3 weeks. His play over the last few weeks has been a huge drop off from earlier in the year, yes this is partly due to the D showing signs of weakness, and guys like Kennedy playing like all kinds of suck but still, Miller in the shoot out this year has not looked good at all. I really hope the USA goes out quick in Vancouver so that he gets rested and gets his head back in the game for the stretch run.

Thoughts?

iPad

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 20:22:37 -0500

So the iPad, I have mixed feelings on this device.

First off, the fact that it didn’t run iPhone OS 4.0 puzzles me, we know 4.0 is coming in a few months with a new phone so why wasn’t it shown off now? What other secrets is 4.0 hiding that the iPad might get?

The lack of flash could REALLY hurt this product. Look on my phone I want nothing to do with flash but on a web browsing device, you need flash, it has plenty of power so lets see flash on this puppy.

Wheres the front facing camera and built in video chat? is this the sorta app that is coming in 4.0?

If this thing didn’t get a Verizon option I highly doubt the next iPhone will either.

Now lets talk potential. Magazine/Newspaper/Comic apps could really make this a must have device. The New York Times app shows the potential is there for rich content in this realm so now lets see it from the developers. I really hope the iPhone event in a few months shows off some more mature apps for the iPad.

Love the no-contract data part, not so much on the 250mb option, dont people use that in a day on the modern web?

All of this being said, I stand mixed on if I want this device, well I want it, but do I need it, to me this device says wait for the 2nd gen version all the way. I cant wait to get my hands on one though to see just what the experience is really like. Touch computing is clearly where we are headed after all.

So what do you out there think of this device?

My mind seems way to blank lately, maybe I need to go sit in the coffee shop with my laptop and a book soon to see if something strikes me. I want a goal, something new to learn/do, maybe I need to give some form of web development a real chance

This post brought to you from 32,000 feet. So here I sit in a lovely airbus a321 with an entire row to myself watching an episode of top gear and blogging on my iPhone. So I have decided I need to work on my writing and have an idea for a few pieces that I hope to write up and post on here for any of you that may read along. These posts are going to hit on the hot topics found in American society and compare them to our European counter parts. A few topics I plan to cover include sexuality/ censorship, gay rights, health care, and possibly some form of racism/discrimination topic. So stay tuned as I put back on the college cap in a way to provide the Internet with a few opinions from a 20 something male from buffalo ny with a business degree. I mean what could go wrong here?

The Blog

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:54:01 -0400

I really have struggled to conceptualize this blog and website, I never know if I want to go with some sort of structure or not, sure I could blog about hockey till the cows come home, or sex and sexuality because those are topics I am endlessly fascinated with especially in American culture where it is so shunned. I could also talk tv since there are several shows I watch regularly. Could go the buffalo route and post all things buffalo since I love this city to no end. Or I could go photography, finding and sharing photos I like, tutorials and such I find, who knows, all good ideas that I might see through, who knows.

A busy november awaits me full of travel, new faces and old, and the ripe ole age of 24 as well.

Heres to november, and scorpio
