Cane Pancake Gravy: July 2014
http://canepancakegravy.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Me on the Road. Sunday, July 20, 2014. I just stumbled across a rather interesting documentary that argues that Edward IV of England was illegitimate, and then proceeds to track down the "real" king of England, who was (he seems to have passed away, if the YouTube comments are to be trusted) "real people", as my family would say. His ancestors that far. Could one of my ancestors have been a Roman legionnaire recruited in Egypt and settling in Gaul, but descended from one of Ramses the Great's 96 sons?

Cane Pancake Gravy: End of the War?
http://canepancakegravy.blogspot.com/2012/07/end-of-war.html
Me on the Road. Wednesday, July 25, 2012. End of the War? Over the past couple of decades, I have the impression that the War Between the States is finally coming to an end. This is a terrible thing, because the end of that War means the end of the experiment begun by Washington and all the other Founding Fathers. Was a veteran from the Union side who was able to say when burying a veteran of the Confederate side,. That couldn't happen today for several reasons. However, that picture is no longer permitt...

Cane Pancake Gravy: December 2014
http://canepancakegravy.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Me on the Road. Tuesday, December 16, 2014. Some of the arguments for the existence of God as a First Cause depend on the assertion that there can be no infinite regress of causes. It is safe to say that although such an assertion is plausible, it is not self-evident. I thought it would be just as well to attempt to construct an example. My attempt fails, but it is an interesting failure (at least to me). We can divide the shaft between his and and the spearhead (of length L. Will be pushed by the penult...

Me on the Road. Saturday, May 30, 2015. What If the Supreme Court Ruled that Waterboarding Is Not Cruel? Somehow, though, I think our friends on the left would not be willing to confine their criticism of waterboarding to their own subjective preferences. I don't think they would say, "Well, waterboarding may or may not be right for you, but it's wrong for me." They would not say, "Don't like waterboarding? Then don't waterboard.". They would say that waterboarding is. Cruel in the world of facts. This p...

Cane Pancake Gravy: September 2014

Me on the Road. Friday, September 5, 2014. Is My Office Haunted? Well, no. This is just a stupid trick of the light on some blank DVDs I had on my much-too-messy desk. Still, I can kind of make out two eyes and a nose. What's really sad/funny is that this is actually as good as or better than many of the "ghost photos" one can find on the Internet.

Me on the Road. Sunday, July 5, 2015. The Most Holy Trinity and Self-Similar Fractals. One morning a few days ago, while I was still half awake, I found myself imagining a discussion of the Most Holy Trinity with a (rather rude) skeptic, and I thought of an analogy in terms of self-similar fractals, in particular the Mandelbrot set. A bit easier to accept. Thursday, July 2, 2015. A week ago I finished re-reading Red Storm Rising. NATO are the good guys. One of the book's heroes does something that is...

Me on the Road. Sunday, June 28, 2015. Controversy over the Confederate Flag. I was thinking about blogging on recent developments, but it turns out that I made all of the important points three years ago, so I will just provide a link to that post. Tuesday, June 23, 2015.

Cane Pancake Gravy: March 2015
http://canepancakegravy.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Me on the Road. Sunday, March 15, 2015. Based on my current model, the odds of picking the whole tournament correctly are optimized by assuming no upsets, and they are about 1 in 15.445 billion. This is about 600 million times more likely than the "official rules" of last year's "billion dollar bracket" competition estimated. In the SOUTH Regional. In the 2nd Round:. 16 NFL/RMU @ 1 Duke - 1 Duke. 15 N Dak. St. @ 2 Gonzaga - 2 Gonzaga. 14 UAB @ 3 Iowa St. - 3 Iowa St. 11 UCLA @ 6 SMU - 11 UCLA. 12 Wofford...
