Math isn’t hard, or is it?

1 response, Jun 10, 2010

Today, while I was browsing the web I encountered this piece of math:

       a = b
   a + a = a + b
      2a = a + b
 2a - 2b = a + b - 2b
2(a - b) = a + b - 2b
2(a - b) = a - b
       2 = 1

On first sight you might think it is correct, but if you look a little bit closer you can easily see the error!
let’s try it again:

       a = b            //true
   a + a = a + b        //true
      2a = a + b        //true
 2a - 2b = a + b - 2b   //true
2(a - b) = a + b - 2b   //true
2(a - b) = a - b        //true <=> 2a - 2b = a - b <=> a - b = a - b <=> 0 = 0
       2 = 1            //false (should be 0 = 0)

that’s it for my ranting =)

why geeks make good lovers

No response, Feb 16, 2010

One of the Universal Truths that lie just beyond the fabric of modern society is the axiom that geeks, along with nerds and other peoples who overinvest in intelligence but boast underdeveloped social skills, make the best lovers. Once people realize this, the sexual revolution that will sweep through western culture will make the seventies look like the fifties, and I’m not talking about wider pants. The reasons why geeks are unparalleled as lovers are simple and many:

Geeks don’t sleep around. Geeks, through their higher IQ and therefore greater understanding of the tragedy of human condition, know that the dice only seem to have more sides on the other side of the table. Hence, they instinctively stay loyal to their lovers through thick and thin. Their social skills are also not well developed enough to support an affair, and frankly, geeks generally aren’t quite sure how they ended up with the lover they have attracted. When you date a geek, you know the geek will be yours until you are done.

Geeks are good at the things they try. When’s the last time you met a geek who didn’t have some secret skill just simmering below the surface of a simple-seeming life, honed in the wee hours of the night? It could be hacking, playing video games, or the ability to insert and remove those stupid computer power plug things from drives without cursing or breaking a finger. Let sex become their new favorite late-night hobby, and you know that a geek won’t quit until he or she has learned how to hack into your brainstem through specific genitalia interfacing in parallel with general dermal and oral bonding.

Geeks are not interested in status. Geeks became geeks because they chose to spend their time doing things that would not necessarily make them popular with everyone else in school, like sports and fashion. The ability to resist peer pressure is important to a geek. This means that a geek is more interested in their or your happiness than looking good to others, which will come in handy when either (a) you need attention, in any sort ranging from the nurturing to the lascivious, and also, because both of those things are not necessarily unorthagonal dimensions, any combination of the two, or (b) you need to be rescued because it is the climax of a teen 80’s movie. Or both.

Geeks haven’t formed bad habits. After years of serially dating lots of other women, many socially successful guys have become too confident to be intimate, think of women only for sex, and don’t have any intention of letting what in their minds is “just another girlfriend” enjoy the last spring roll. Let us not even pry into the diabolical, dark, twisted, and depraved mind of the girl who has serially dated many men. None of this is true of the geek, however. The lack of past romantic partners allows the geek to approach lovers with the zest of the neophyte. Geeks are not full of romantic confidence; however, once coaxed from their emotional holes like tame bunnies, they are eager to please and enjoy their newfound relationship.

Geeks can concentrate. Geeks can focus their energy on one task with the intensity of a hunting cheetah. Granted, the task they are focusing on may have more to do with hunting orcs with a +1 Sword of Piercing rather than hunting gazelles with claws, but the fact remains that a geek, once set upon a task and given Mountain Dew, becomes a tireless slave to their goal. Put a six-pack of Dew on the bedside table and a geek between the sheets, and you have found yourself one relentless lover. When’s the last time all night actually meant all night? When’s the last time you were with someone who, if they needed more of the night, knew how to get it?

Geeks have excellent finger dexterity. Geeks roll dice. Geeks play video games. Geeks flip pages in books. Geeks type a lot, and use characters like ~ and ^ and | that no one else has any use for. Geeks use calculators in postfix notation. As a result, a geek knows how to use his or her fingers to greatest possible effect. Whether you have a button that needs pushing or a joystick that needs joy, a geek is the person for the job.

Geeks have imagination. Once you have found your amazing lover, you wouldn’t want things to become boring. That is where geeks prove their real worth. Replayability is important to the value-conscious video-game playing geek, and this translates to relationships as well. Wouldn’t you want to date someone who has created a Quake 3 mod? Wouldn’t you want to date someone who has written steamy Everquest fan fiction involving elven incest? Wouldn’t you want to date someone who wished they were Morpheus rather than someone who wished they were Barry Bonds?

There are plenty of other reasons why geeks are the best lovers around, but don’t just take my word for it. Find the nearest sexy geek and coax that person into asking you out, even if you have to do so using instant messanger. Remember: the only non-sexy geek is a single geek.

Time is ticking…
And we can’t go back.

this is a blog by Lien (#). Because it’s such a beautiful blog, I wanted to share it here too.

A simple sentence with such much truth in it. when i look out my window, and i see cars passing by ,drivers who are shouting at each other to drive faster, people who run through the streets with bags , children who are running after their phoning parents , then I think by myself : Why ?

Why are we always in a rush ? Why are we running through life ? Why can’t we stand still for a moment to enjoy the little things ? Why ?

The question is easy to ask , but the answer isn’t.
We are always on the run, to go work , to pick up the kids from school , to go out for a drink , to do the groceries, to find gifts for someone’s birthday and in this rush we don’t see that life is passing by , slowly and quiet.

Life doesn’t ask much from us , on the other hand , it gives a lot. It gives us the opportunity to make career , to have a family , to feel love. It shows us the beauty of nature , of earth , of people. And most of all if shows us how happy we can be with the little things , like a purple red sunset , or a field covered with Daisies , the smell of fresh mowed grass or a friendly smile from people you don’t know or the shop-assistant who’s asking how you are doing today.

Because we run , we miss all those simple gestures. We don’t live our life , we just run through it and at some point , it gains us and then we realize how valuable and short it is.

So , try to stop once in a while , just to look and see the small things around you and I’m sure you will continuing your journey with a smile, realizing it can wait for moment.

My imaginary world

This is a blog of a friend of me, Michiel (#). He posted it on his netlog, but because I think this is beautiful blog post, and I have more visitors than him, he agreed to post this text on my blog. Enjoy reading this, and don’t forget to leave a comment!

In those hours before dawn, I often find myself in my own imaginary world. Dreaming of beauty and strange places. Of a world not bound by the rules of reality, unbound by the limitation of my own self. A world with no limits, only encouragement to go even further into the realms of my own imagination. And so, before the first light of dawn, I find myself flying trough the skies of endless plains, have a cup of thee atop a grand and ancient tree and play a game of cards with pirates,long forgotten. Dolphins greet me in the see, as I skittle it’s surface flying with a giant balloon, slowly travelling trough clouds full of golden spray. I fight with mythical wraith from long ago, and hold the one I love tightly in my arms. And as I open my eyes to see reality, I wonder if it would not be better to stay in those sweet fantasies. To run away from reality and embrace my own worlds as truth. I slumber for many hours, dreaming myself trough countless scene’s, unwilling to accept the inevitable end daylight brings.
For those who know me listen thee, for here is the reason I slowly awake, each day so early in the morning: I do not dream nor do I pursue reality. I simply enjoy living in my own private imaginary world in which I gladly sink away.

Do you have worlds you sink away to? In which you seek refuge from reallity? Worlds of beauty, destruction or neutrality? pleas share them with us, so we can all imagine ourselves even more into our world.
