A Fine Kettle of Fish. September 18, 2010. We’re not in Kansas anymore. Well I’ll be dipped. Apparently the wind event in Queens actually was a tornado. When I heard on NPR that a devastating weather anomaly blew through the New York City burg my first thought was there are no tornadoes in my home state. I did not recall any in my childhood locale near the Hudson River. Apparently I wasn’t paying attention. According to the Tornado Project. There were several twisters. T during a brief summer thunderstorm.

Loving Pi Day | A Fine Kettle of Fish
https://afinekettleoffish.wordpress.com/2011/03/14/loving-pi-day
A Fine Kettle of Fish. March 14, 2011. By now, everyone knows that March 14 is Pi Day (3.14). Some people take it further and make it Pi second waiting until 1:59 to dive into the Pie Pi (3.14159). That’s problematic for me because actually it should be 1:59 am and I am generally not surrounded by Pi Pie loving people at that time. I compromised and brought Pi Pies in for breakfast. Any Excuse for a Party. For the really straightforward, this chocolate and whip cream confection…. As a nod to physics.

B.F. Skinner and the Former Governor of our Northwesternmost State | A Fine Kettle of Fish
https://afinekettleoffish.wordpress.com/2010/03/06/b-f-skinner-and-the-former-governor-of-our-northwesternmost-state
A Fine Kettle of Fish. March 6, 2010. BF Skinner and the Former Governor of our Northwesternmost State. Though it’s almost a criminal simplification of behaviorism, the idea ‘if you ignore it, it will go away’ is a tenet that kind of works. I propose an experiment. Enough. Let’s test Skinnerian reinforcement. Can we as a reasonable people stop paying attention to the individual and if we do, will her political aspirations fade away? Let’s give it a try, shall we?
