AMHAZ journal: idealism 2

http://xuexixs.blogspot.com/2014/01/idealism-2.html

Thoughts and observations. nothing too personal, usually. Tuesday, January 07, 2014. The days are counting down, just weeks now until the Big Shift. This evening, ideas swirling through my head, especially a reiteration of the first version. Of this post. I wanted to resketch those ideas, so here we go, in less detail but more formally:. 1 There is a real world that exists in some form that we can perceive, accurately or not. 11 The substance of this real world is not physical or objective or dualistic.

AMHAZ journal: Sorry May

http://xuexixs.blogspot.com/2014/06/sorry-may.html

Thoughts and observations. nothing too personal, usually. Tuesday, June 03, 2014. Okay, so this picture illustrates why I am not a Tegmarkian. Tegmark, if you don't know, is a clever cosmologist at MIT who's put forward (a book on) the thesis that mathematics is the ultimate reality, and that all mathematics is in fact a kind of reality - that there is a mathematical multiverse, which we know exists on account of the mathematics existing. If the curious thing is that the description is so perfect and com...

AMHAZ journal: anxiety, nighttime kitchens, broken foot

http://xuexixs.blogspot.com/2014/03/anxiety-nighttime-kitchens-broken-foot.html

Thoughts and observations. nothing too personal, usually. Thursday, March 27, 2014. Anxiety, nighttime kitchens, broken foot. Yep So, I guess 2014 is the year that HAZ goes back to sleep, waking up now and then for a random update. So that's why I'm not here much lately. Tonight, as I left the lab, about 8:30, I went to the kitchen to get a candy bar. I don't usually do this, but my foot is kind of broken and I felt like I needed an extra boost for the walk home. What else is there? With a broken foot!

AMHAZ journal: New I am an Idiot

http://xuexixs.blogspot.com/2015/08/new-i-am-idiot.html

Thoughts and observations. nothing too personal, usually. Wednesday, August 26, 2015. New I am an Idiot. Long time no see! So, the last version (last 2 actually) of the script for my fMRI MVPA experiment was written entirely on a flash drive. And was not backed up. The flash drive failed.

Thoughts and observations. nothing too personal, usually. Saturday, July 12, 2014. Made this last winter when I realized I was coming to Australia. Found it the other day and dressed it up a bit.

AMHAZ journal: idealism

http://xuexixs.blogspot.com/2013/09/idealism.html

Thoughts and observations. nothing too personal, usually. Sunday, September 22, 2013. Read Koch's "confessions of a romantic reductionist" this weekend. nice book, and he's such an interesting character. i was slightly disappointed that there wasn't more to learn - it was thin (i don't normally finish a book in 2 days). not that it wasn't full of things to learn, but most of it wasn't new to me, i guess because i'm familiar enough with the literature. So there it is.). In the familiar sense of the word)&...

AMHAZ journal: wilson's prom

http://xuexixs.blogspot.com/2014/03/wilsons-prom.html

Thoughts and observations. nothing too personal, usually. Sunday, March 30, 2014. A list of things I saw, heard, and did:. Bull ant: someone wanted me to come stomp it, but i chased it across the street instead. apparently the sting can be pretty bad. she was super aggressive - i chased her off with a stick, but for the most part i had to actually flip her away, foot by foot, because otherwise she'd rear up and point her mandibles at me, very challenging. No mosquitoes: there were no mosquitoes! Anxiety,...

AMHAZ journal: 300

http://xuexixs.blogspot.com/2013/12/300.html

Thoughts and observations. nothing too personal, usually. Monday, December 30, 2013. Quickly, and as a year-ender for 2013:. According to my records, this is my 300th post on this "blog". I started keeping this journal as part of a social exercise with the two Michaels, back in 2005 - we kept it going for a couple of years and then it waned and quit. But I came back! So, 300 posts. That's enough for some statistical analysis; it's enough just to look at some plots:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

AMHAZ journal: something which seems to be true

http://xuexixs.blogspot.com/2013/12/something-which-seems-to-be-true.html

Thoughts and observations. nothing too personal, usually. Sunday, December 22, 2013. Something which seems to be true. Where D is distance between the subscripted cities, indicated by their airport codes, r ⴲ. Is the radius of the earth, and p is population of the subscripted city. Since I realized this, I've felt much more conflicted about my coming trip. Separated from my wife for what might be 6 months, in what is by the above measures the most distant city on earth.
