David's Random Ramblings: October 2010
http://dsignoff.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 19, 2010. There is another good friend in college where it came in at 1/3 which is more in line with what I would suspect. I'm not complaining or worried about not knowing enough of my friend's friends or think any of this means anything. But especially the minimal correlation with how well I knew the person struck me as odd. Anyway, enough of the meaningless observations, time for bed. Wednesday, October 13, 2010. It's All About Jobs. Let's for the moment assume that voters represent th...

David's Random Ramblings: July 2010

Saturday, July 31, 2010. With one of the founders of wikipedia is in general somewhat interesting. But what really caught me was what he had to say about how experts are viewed:. Why did you feel so strongly about involving experts? Where do you think that contempt for expertise comes from? It's seems odd to be committed to a project that's all about sharing knowledge, yet dismiss those who've worked so hard to acquire it. About wikileaks and the slate article claiming transparency means revealing sources.

Friday, August 12, 2011. Apparently we still haven't reached the day when I'll stop posting about the status of patents I'm on. My second patent (which I'm also first inventor on) was just granted. And the version with pretty pictures. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Dad (Instead Of Conversation). America's Finest News Source. Weekly Emails and More.

David's Random Ramblings: April 2013
http://dsignoff.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 20, 2013. A Memory Of Light. Haven't posted here in a while. But finishing the Wheel of Time series seemed like a moment worthy of putting up a post. Just looked up Hinderstap to figure out the trick Mat pulled. Hm, I wonder how many other references to the previous books that I missed. Well before it fully hits me that the series is really over and that I won't be seeing those characters again, I'll download the latest Game of Thrones book to try to distract myself. Weekly Emails and More.

David's Random Ramblings: September 2010
http://dsignoff.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 30, 2010. At a super bowl party last year I had a bottle of Midas Touch. And was impressed. Since then I've had it a couple times and thought it was good, but had no idea that when the bottle says Handcrafted Ancient Ale it's serious. Now I really want to try Chateau Jiahu. Ok, end beer commercial. Why am I drinking Midas Touch on a Thursday night? Because I'm celebrating that the project I've been working on at work for the last year is finally coming together!

Saturday, July 16, 2011. Ok, mystery solved. Not so surprisingly it is the family members I've been playing phone tag with since my birthday. Yay now it is time to use my birthday present! Friday, July 15, 2011. Someone was nice enough to buy a Yoda USB drive for me. I like the little Yoda statue so it is sitting on my stereo next to my computer. And according to the box it has a huge amount of memory. It showed up right around my birthday so I'm assuming it is a birthday present. Thursday, July 07, 2011.

Tuesday, August 31, 2010. I'm going to talk about myself for a bit, since that's what I get to observe, but I'm trying to get to a broader point not just spout off about myself. I guess the answer is probably just that creativity is a large, poorly defined concept so different types of creativity require different approaches. And different people get to creativity by different means. In addition, crazy looking Einstein makes a better poster and a multidisciplinary teams going rafting makes a bett...Am I ...

David's Random Ramblings: November 2010
http://dsignoff.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 29, 2010. Let's say that for some reason Justin Bieber picks up the habit of tapping people on the shoulder. Then, of course, in a few days every kid in America is tapping everyone they see on the shoulder. The next logical step is some parents get concerned about the health effects of shoulder tapping and make sure that scientists studying shoulder tapping get funded. Sunday, November 14, 2010. Wheel of Time 4-7. Actually I take back the summary thing - several young adults plucked out ...

David's Random Ramblings: January 2011

Saturday, January 29, 2011. Why School Science Experiments Should Be Replaced By Engineering. Disclaimer: This post is a bunch of stuff I just thought up and is mostly about education. I did ok as a student, but know almost nothing about teaching. So the bullshit meter on this post is higher than usual. And I'm really just writing this as a way to put off doing taxes (as a side note, if Republicans wanted to destroy Democrats they'd move elections to mid April). In addition to increasing trust in school,...
