Malleable social graphs what are they - from the...
Malleable social graphs, what are they? Well, right now, if you are looking to go to a Napa Winery, or three, and you go to Twitter or Facebook everyone looks the same to you.

Scott Pilgrim and the Secret Shape of My Heart
via youtube.com I love this. I’ve loved Scott Pilgrim since I read a preview of the first volume, back in 2003 or 2004. I pre-ordered it as soon as I could. I’ve read each volume. And re-read it.

The Philosophy of Punk Rock Mathematics –...
This is the first serious long-term plan I’ve ever had. I figure, Shit, I’m a guy with long term plans now? I need to re-roll my character sheet. I start with appearance (self-aware poser), and ramp up the mathematical angle, to cobble together a philosophy of punk rock mathematics.
