I lied...

Har. Like I actually sleep at night...

Anyway, this is my new favorite thing ever.

Stuff No One Told Me


In the artist's own words, "Think of me as a wise LOLcat."

Food for thought

Spent most of today thinking about this:

--> WSJ on hermeticism

Spent most of tonight listening to/thinking about this:

--> Arthur Zajonc on meditation

That's it for now. Goodnight!

African Fractals

I still don't understand fractals, but holy shit this is so cool (and this is coming from someone who despises math and still has trouble with addition and subtraction).



EDIT: Here have another one, Ken Robinson on why schools kill creativity:

Reporting to you live from United States of Amerifunk

So, for those of you who've been living in a cave, I've recently (like, since the Olympics, there is some logic here...) aquired a somewhat disturbingly avid interest in professional figure skating, specifically Johnny Weir and his utterly ridiculous and adorable reality show. The 2 hour Olympic season finale of Be Good Johnny Weir is on Sunday, and promises to be equal parts heartbreaking (spoiler: HE WAS ROBBED) and lolarious as usual.



I. Can't. Wait.

Also, Viacheslav Romanov is apparently commentating during the Olympics. She is probably one of my favorite parts of the show, and I know that the main theme of this episode is what is Johnny doing now that's he's kinda old-ish for a figure skater and hasn't medalled, and all I can think is VIACHESLAV COMMENTATING AT SOCHI. Seriously. Needs to happen.

If you are unfamiliar with the exploits of Viacheslav:



In short, this show is awesome and so is Princess J, and I highly recommend you watch it. There's a marathon of Season 1 on Sundance Channel tomorrow, and then the finale is Sunday at 9:00 EST.

До свидания, and see you there.
