Not that Sane: Controlling her spirit
http://not-that-sane.blogspot.com/2015/01/controlling-her-spirit.html
Double takes on an irrational world ( first post. The kids and I are playing The Settlers of Catan. The daughter is winning and has 9 points (10 to win), but the son is close behind and will probably get a longer road, thus reducing her to 7 points on the next turn. She is about to pass the die off to me, when I suggest that she look again at her hand. "Why don't you use your 2:1 port to convert some of your cards," I ask her, "and upgrade one of your houses to a settlement? Friday, January 02, 2015.

Not that Sane: September 2014

Double takes on an irrational world ( first post. Cycling over the lake. USA today came out with one of their lists of best places to live. Among all cities (without looking at slicing and dicing them into midsize cities, etc.) Newton, MA and Bellevue, WA took the top two spots. My experience with Newton has been limited to playing bridge. On days when I can plan it out, I can bicycle all the way home, forgoing the bus altogether. The bicycle path runs along the interstate and over the lake. This...Near ...

Not that Sane: December 2013

Double takes on an irrational world ( first post. A few months ago, Norman changed its traffic signals. At left turns, instead of a steady green light for "yield", we now have flashing yellow arrows. The first couple of times, the flashing yellow arrow was a surprise, but then I got used to it. It is better to distinguish between a green for go and a green for yield. Hurray for change. After all, at a T-intersection, there is no traffic coming from the other side . Thursday, December 19, 2013.

Not that Sane: Ian McEwan, bridge and restricted choice
http://not-that-sane.blogspot.com/2015/05/ian-mcewan-bridge-and-restricted-choice.html
Double takes on an irrational world ( first post. Ian McEwan, bridge and restricted choice. I am reading Ian McEwan's novel "The Sweet Tooth". And was surprised to see an excellent explanation of a complex logic puzzle in it. And even more surprised when the author shows off by building a slightly-wrong vignette based on the puzzle, and a better vignette that corrects the problem. My respect for Mr. McEwan has gone up several fold now. Full details in my bridge blog. Wednesday, May 06, 2015.

Not that Sane: A few years later
http://not-that-sane.blogspot.com/2007/04/few-years-later.html
Double takes on an irrational world ( first post. A few years later. As some of you know, I was writing a weekly blog before the word "blog" even existed. I kept it up for nearly 3 years:. Http:/ www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Bridge/1771/Sane/archive.html. I'm keeping the title. I came up with 10 years ago, although reading some of the older columns, the voice is unrecognizable. Everyone's writing style, I'm sure, changes over the years. Mine certainly has. Geocities is no more, but my posts have been archived.

Double takes on an irrational world ( first post. On Hinduism and Xenophobia. I remember reading something set in ancient Persia and noting that the name of the chief god, Azura Mazda, was quite similar to the names of the demons ("asura") in Hindu myths. Reading Wendy Doniger's latest book, On Hinduism, brought the aha moment:. The great god in the Avesta . is called Ahura Mazda, the great asura, a benevolent spirit. Even in the Rig Veda. Several gods are still called asuras. In Latin) became the devils.

Not that Sane: Three-commute day
http://not-that-sane.blogspot.com/2015/02/three-commute-day.html
Double takes on an irrational world ( first post. Today, I commuted to work twice. Huh? My usual commute is to ride the bike (at 6.45 am) to a freeway station and catch an express bus to Seattle. At about 7.10am, I got a call from home. The wife could not find the car keys. Turns out I had been even less sharp than usual this morning when I left for work. I had left home with both set of car keys, one in each jeans pocket. Mine and the wife's. Tuesday, February 03, 2015. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Double takes on an irrational world ( first post. Cranks make testable predictions. And of course, there was the infamous physics professor who wanted to build a wall. In the Great Plains forgetting that there are mountain ranges that high in the Midwest that do nothing to stop 'em twisters. But the email I got today was a first. The crank makes a testable prediction:. Severe storm at eastern Alabama likely around 26. Since when have cranks started making testable predictions? Saturday, January 17, 2015.
