MAGNETS, HOW DO THEY WORK?

Hey! Thanks for reading! Just a reminder that I wrote this some years ago, and may have much more complicated feelings about this topic than I did when I wrote it. Happy to elaborate, feel free to reach out to me! ๐
Let this be a myriad post with some of the trends that currently come up in this blog:
Music. This was shown to me by a former roommate, and while acapella isn't normally my thing, I found this pretty hip:
Internet lulz. I never really cared much for Insane Clown Posse (see this lame interview, where they manage to make Bill O'Reilly look like the slightly saner party). I had never been exposed to this, a 2009 release that compares to Brokencyde in claw-your-facedness:
What makes this more notable is the meme arising from the line "Fucking magnets, how do they work? And I donโt wanna talk to a scientist; Yโall motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed."
Murrrrrrrrr.
(edit: Madly Brilliant throws me the link to an SNL parody of the video, which I found sufficiently lulzy).
Programming languages. I like the tone and content of Mozilla's "A re- introduction to Javascript." While I don't love everything Douglas Crockford writes, but I agree with him in that there's a beautiful language trapped deep inside Javascript trying to get out. This helps us get there.
Also, reddit has started a mini-course on programming language math and formal specification/semantics. While it's too early to tell how successful it will be, I'm rooting for it!
I have lots more to write about in the coming days: soon I move to San Francisco, and I just took a trip to the Midwest. Now though, I have to pack!
Thanks for the read! Disagreed? Violent agreement!? Feel free to join my mailing list, drop me a line at , or leave a comment below! I'd love to hear from you ๐
