Fox is a Dumb Animal
September 05, 2003

I was looking through some TV listings to determine why there aren't going to be as many shows to watch in this new season as there was last year.  While on this quest, I determined that the Fox network is a bunch of morons.

Basically, there are a few shows that Fox cancelled for no good reason.  These shows are Firefly (although not everyone would agree), Futurama, and John Doe.  Why did Fox cancel these shows?  I guess viewership was down. But the real question is what are they being replaced with?

The Adventures of Annoying Kid in Discrete Math Land
September 05, 2003

One of the classes I'm taking at West Chester on Tuesdays and Thursdays is Discrete Math.  Discrete Math is basically turning out to be the study of things that are ture and false, and how to determine is something is true or false via logical argument.

We're learning such things as boolean algebra, truth tables, ands, ors, nots, venn diagrams, and proof by induction.  It's mostly a formal spin on the common sense understanding of truth.

Do you ever see something out of the corner of your eye and get it stuck in your head somehow?  Like, maybe there's a sign for fried chicken as you're driving down the road, and you see it on the periphery, and then you suddenly start thinking about chicken.

It's one thing when you notice yourself doing this, and know the source of the "inspiration".  But I wonder how many times this happens and I don't realize that I've been influenced by a sign or a flash of sound on the radio or some subliminal TV message.
