Perhaps ...

The cylon baby's name is Zee.

"As an aside: I'm always amazed how many people who do sciences and other technical stuff are always interested in many things, like music, politics, aesthetics, social structure...but hardly any political science or sociology student has even a passing interest in the sciences. I'm starting to believe that the latter are just to stupid to realise how much of an impact those things have on their life."

A Lost Monologue From the Prequel that Should've Been

"The subspace geometry of the galaxy is vastly different from its actual geometry. That is why you can't just point yourself at a distant star and engage; one makes as if to go in a seemingly unrelated direction, calculating navigation with advanced polyfinite mathematics. Thus, in a lonely universe are so many planets and cultures and peoples so clustered together on the other side of warp speed."

Transfinite Arithmetic

I discovered that a paper I wrote on "Transfinite Arithmetic" in the ninth grade was essentially a description of Cantor's Set Theory. I believe the notion of transfinite numbers can be mapped onto our finite number system, and that this mapping will have significant ramifications for our understanding of the physical world. What was the creation of the universe but the bounding and binding of indeterminate space and indeterminate time?

Desktop Customizations

Of DesktopX and Konfabulator, which I stumbled across whilst attempting to skin Google Sidebar: stopgaps. Slick, yes. But still, toys grafted onto the filmy top of XP. It makes me wonder about what the operating system on the other side of a secret seachange to be will look like: what is the idea of computers and what is the ideal? What did we expect these things to do at age five? Instant answers. Framing questions. Green Lantern rings. Or maybe this is just like the last days of patchwork, user-exception Catholicism before I chucked the whole religion and switched to Linux. Cheers.
