Cosmic Dominoes

So, are we/am I conscious, or is the world an illusionary set of hi-karate cosmic dominoes?
Something I haven’t thought about for a while, and the flame has been sparked again. I wish could say I have a definite answer for this one, but I don’t. It seems like it’s obvious.
“Of course you’re [...]

Insane in the p-brane

Real life is stranger than fiction. So I’m almost done with that book and he’s talking about ten spacial dimensions and eleven spacetime dimensions. We’re somehow stuck in the 3rd dimension and they (you know, evil geniuses and stuff) are currently doing work to detect one of the other spacial dimensions.
On top of [...]

Lecturer censored in Spanish University (UPV) for defending P2P networks

Lecturer censored in Spanish University (UPV) for defending P2P networks
I saw this on slashdot.
This guy wants to spread the message, so I thought I’d do my small part by posting it here. Basically, he lost his job because he dicussed the legal uses of Peer-to-Peer networks (like Bitorrent, Kazaa, etc.)
Things must by really different [...]

Van the Man

This is Van

He is The Man

He Draws Frogmobiles like no one can

You may or may not remember Vincent from the I didn’t teach him that post some months back. Vincent (as usual) has been drawing all kinds of stuff. I liked the frogmobiles and thought they should be shared.
For some reason I’ve given [...]

Hello, my name is miltownkid… I am a nerd.

There’s no denying it now. If there was ever a doubt in my mind, it’s been washed away today.
While walking to Game Club today and reading the book my mom dropped off for me while she was here (The Fabric of the Cosmos) something hit me. “I’m going to study math!” Then [...]

Taiwan Feels The Force

With less than one week left until the Starwars opening I thought I’d put up some pictures of the ads here. They’re probably the same ones you see back home, but a little cooler because there’s Chinese in them .

Too Many Hours

Equals no posting. My problem is I don’t want to post unless have like an hour spare time to sit down and work on my post. Working 3 hours a day had me spoiled. I do have some pictures an d stuff ready but they’ll have to wait for another day. [...]

I feel a change coming

I don’t know what it is about this Ubuntu, but I’m finding myself using this more than my XP machine. It feels really good for some reason. Even though it lacks some multimedia functions on the fresh install, it’s really easy to get them on (MP3, MPEG4, etc.). I think I like [...]

Another Day Another Flavor of Linux

So, late last night I traded in my newly install Mepis for Ubuntu. Yet another very solid and smooth Linux distribution. You can even get a copy mailed to you for free if downloading is a problem.
There are enough reviews floating around the www about this one, but I’ll give it the miltown [...]

and before I sleep

I got my own webserver working for the first time today. There really wasn’t much to do since Mepis did all the leg work for me. That’s about all I have time to say, here’s the current domain for my computer (that I’m posting this from).
