Game Theory
The bonus question @ sylloge.com is: “Does anyone know if there are an infinite number of chess games? If not, what the limit is?” The answers are “no” and “I couldn’t tell you off the top of my head, but I suspect it’s a great big number”. This is a topic tackled in Prisoner’s Dilemma… Read more »
In Which He Thinks Too Much
… and I think I think too much …
Contentville
The previous post got me thinking about all the continuing hullabaloo about content. Continuing? Yeah. Continuing as in, the same thing people were debating 300 years ago. I took entire classes in college about content and what it is and where it originates and why it’s good or bad. What I learned was that nobody… Read more »
Release
It ain’t just a great Pearl Jam song. After a wildy wicked weekend at the Pearl residence in Orlando, I’ve been thinking about my mind a bunch lately. My mind? Surely I jest. No. Seriously.

But I would have been lying. I would really rather know. To be honest with you (and don’t… Read more »
Things I Know
To expand on this just a bit: I know a million things. There are many more things that I do not know. One of the things I don’t know is: How many of the things I think I know do I really know? It gets worse. There are things that I do know that I… Read more »
deal with it
The longer I’m here – here being Earth, not the ‘net – the more I realize that being funny, laughing, is about the best thing there is. There are some people out there that get this and many people that don’t. I spend a huge hunka buncha time every day being funny. And not just… Read more »
Something Totally Sketchy
And then, something totally sketchy happens and what you thought you didn’t know you think you might have known and some other things you thought you didn’t know you think that you might know for sure but some other things that you don’t know if you know or don’t know you realize you might know….

What Do I Know?
Did you ever think you totally knew something and then – suddenly – felt like possibly you had absolutely no clue about whatever it was that you thought you knew? Yeah. I feel like that sometimes. Like now for instance.
