No commentsDearest Readers,
I want to vamp up two sections of this website. The first is ‘favorite posts.’ If you look at the bar on the left and scroll down you’ll come to a list of favorite posts. Do any of you have any favorite posts that you think I should include in the list?
The second section is the About me page. Right now it’s passable, but not awesome. It definitely needs new photos. Any other suggestions?
Rock,
Mike D.

1 CommentAnyone who loves music and would consider themselves a member of the “occasionally paranoid” club has likely wondered if their computer software is secretly plotting against them.
Old Man Schenk decided to prove it once and for all. He wrote a quick computer program (in Ruby!) and science ensued.
Great job Ryan!
Authored by: mike d.The phrase “deus ex machina” refers to a person or thing that appears unexpectedly in fiction to solve a horribly complicated plot.
The words “deus ex machina” actually mean “a god from a machine” and it refers to the physical crane that held a “god” above the stage of plays. Apparently in the 5th century B.C it wasn’t uncommon to just drop a god down from the sky in the last scene to fix up the overly contrived plot.

Authored by: mike d.I got palm struck in the face last night at kung fu. It didn’t hurt so much as completely stun me. My attacker actually stepped forward and grabbed my arms to prevent me from toppling over.
How strange it is getting palm struck in the face.
We were doing an exercise where I would jab at my opponent. He would block and then palm strike in the direction of my face. Except, he didn’t stop in time and plowed into my nose.
I was certain that it broke. But, a few minutes and nose blows later I was back in business.
It was a really strange experience though. Really strange.
