I just sang "City of New Orleans" to JZ as Kat fell asleep. That might be the perfect definition of a simple pleasure.

The image and idea was taken from Wil Wheaton’s blog. As he said, this event just reminds me — and him and many others, I’m sure — of 9/11. There’s a sense of hopelessness and sadness that goes with a terrorist attack, but also a sense that we must remember what brings us together as people. I remember thinking in the days after 9/11 about how powerful a feeling it was… that the world had come together around New York. May we, as the people of the world, offer the comfort we can to the citizens of Madrid. You are not alone.
And perhaps we can all say a prayer to whomever or whatever we hold holy… as we ask for peace.
Ahora nosotros oramos que el mundo encuentre paz y justicia

What Irrational Number Are You?
Total geekery. This is for Ordway and Thayer:
| What Irrational Number Are You? | |||
|
You are φ
Of all the irrational numbers, you are considered to be the most beautiful. Those who know you well have called you by many names, all golden. However, most people don’t know you by name and probably won’t even recognize you by sight, but they do like to see you. Despite your pretty face, you are by no means shallow. You are involved it many things: finance, biology, architecture, art, music, and much more.
In some ways you and e are a nearly perfect match. The power and intensity of e excites you. Your lucky number is approximately 1.61803399 |
