Wittgenstein, Shakespeare, and Cookie Monster: August 2011

http://wscmonster.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

Wittgenstein, Shakespeare, and Cookie Monster. Friday, August 12, 2011. Stephen Sondheim just ripped Diane Paulus a new asshole. ( NY Times story. I don't think women directors are especially bad. I think DIRECTORS are especially bad - most directors, regardless of their gender. And it really won't solve anything to get rid of directors, because - paradoxically - even though the role of director is new, it's also ancient. 1 No education. How do you learn to be a director? Look at me doing my job! 6 Most ...

Wittgenstein, Shakespeare, and Cookie Monster: javascript functions untangled

http://wscmonster.blogspot.com/2011/09/javascript-functions-untangled.html

Wittgenstein, Shakespeare, and Cookie Monster. Saturday, September 17, 2011. After a week-long odyssey of trying to understand how JS functions connect to other objects, namely where their prototype, proto and constructor properties point to, I think I've finally achieved enlightenment. Most JS tutorials and books are concerned with how functions connect to objects created by them, not with how they connect with objects that are created before them. If you know of a better chart, please link to it. A con...

Wittgenstein, Shakespeare, and Cookie Monster: May 2011

http://wscmonster.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Wittgenstein, Shakespeare, and Cookie Monster. Wednesday, May 11, 2011. Why i'm against redundancy in stories. To start with, I will define a "story" as a linear narrative: a tale of "one damn thing after another." There are, of course, stories that aren't structured that way. I am not going to consider them here, because, in most cases, I'm don't find them pleasing. Because I hate the clunky phrase "linear narrative," from here on, I'm going to replace it with the word "story." Please indulge me! When a...

Wittgenstein, Shakespeare, and Cookie Monster: December 2010

http://wscmonster.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Wittgenstein, Shakespeare, and Cookie Monster. Saturday, December 25, 2010. Many were upset by the Pope's recent claim: "In the 1970s, paedophilia was theorized as something fully in conformity with man and even with children.". Here's some unsolicited advice from yours truly: ignore passive-voice statements. Translate them as "blah blah blah," and then say, "Well, that's meaningless, so I can ignore it." You'll throw some babies out with that bathwater, but most of them will be baby trolls. It's like a ...

Wittgenstein, Shakespeare, and Cookie Monster: June 2010

http://wscmonster.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Wittgenstein, Shakespeare, and Cookie Monster. Wednesday, June 09, 2010. What does it feel like to make a choice? I'm not asking a free-will-vs-determanism question. Whether or not free will exists, we feel like we make choices. So, real or illusory, what does making-a-choice feel like? If the guy with the cones says, "You have five seconds or you get noting! I may even go through some internal debate: "Well, I like both flavors, but if I pick vanilla, will people think I'm boring? THEN SOMETHING HAPPENS...

Wittgenstein, Shakespeare, and Cookie Monster: February 2011

http://wscmonster.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Wittgenstein, Shakespeare, and Cookie Monster. Sunday, February 13, 2011. I'm going to slap the wrist of the "Times" writer who blurbed "The Nearest Exit" (a spy novel by Olen Steinhauer). He wrote, "Steinhauer can be legitimately mentioned alongside John Le Carre.". First of all, it's floundering in passivity. Steinhauer "can be mentioned"? Why not, "I'm not ashamed to mention" or "you will wind up mentioning" or "readers will feel compelled to mention" or "My dentist mentioned"? Is the (mystery) mentio...
