http://blackskimmer.blogspot.com/2007/06/warm-stones-and-silent-walks.html
A Celebration of the Rich Fragrant Chaos of Life. Saturday, June 2, 2007. Warm stones and silent walks. Once when I worked at the botanical garden in the Bronx, I was giving a forest tour. They always gave me the hard cases so i had this group of deaf kids. We had a great time! I just pointed at everything, we touched everything, we found cool stuff like the fluff that flies out of princess paulonia pods and incredibly intricate wood carvings by carpenter ants, so smooth. Lots of surprises like that.

blackskimmerblog: "Fuck!", A Preliminary Analysis
http://blackskimmer.blogspot.com/2015/05/fuck-preliminary-analysis.html
A Celebration of the Rich Fragrant Chaos of Life. Wednesday, May 20, 2015. The simple word 'fuck' is disturbing? What is the function of the word 'fuck'? Well it's basic meaning is to have sex. some men use it; "to fuck a woman" some women use it; "let's fuck". is it so qualitatively different than "lets make love"? I suppose fucking doesn't have to involve love. but does all 'lovemaking' that isn't 'fucking' involve love? We need a detailed anthropology of 'fuck'. Would it be so foul as to say: "human b...

blackskimmerblog: classification of finite simple groups
http://blackskimmer.blogspot.com/2007/03/classification-of-finite-simple-groups.html
A Celebration of the Rich Fragrant Chaos of Life. Wednesday, March 7, 2007. Classification of finite simple groups. Back to best labs summary contents. Here is another static tautological system with simple rules that will give us a surprisingly diverse but not totally chaotic behavior. No dynamics or random input required, though i suppose you could work out the consequences by seting up an iterative system with stochastic input to explore the space and 'discover' all the possible groups. hmmm. Two rota...

A Celebration of the Rich Fragrant Chaos of Life. Thursday, July 3, 2014. More Pretty Math Patterns: Spiral Fibonaci Strings. You may have heard of the Fibonacci numbers:. F0=0, f1=1 and fn=f(n-1) f(n-2), so that the numbers are:. 0,1,1,2,3,5,8. (you add the last two numbers to get the next. the next one will be 13). There are tons of fun facts about these critters. Today I saw something similar - Fibonacci strings:. F0='0', f1='1' and fn = f(n-1) concatenated with f(n-2), so the strings are:. The length...
