Aleph-Null Bottles of Beer on the Wall...: London - Day 4 - "Checkmate"
http://prof-v.blogspot.com/2007/05/london-day-4-checkmate.html
Aleph-Null Bottles of Beer on the Wall. Sunday, May 27, 2007. London - Day 4 - "Checkmate". After my too hot shower I sat on the bed waiting for Karen to get back and watching BBC news (on BBC 1). One of the news bites they were playing was about the law that had recently been passed (I assume) against the use of hounds while fox hunting. It was a bit surreal for me when I realized that that was a Boxing Day tradition, but I got a big kick out of it. When we were mostly through with our meal the pigeons ...

Aleph-Null Bottles of Beer on the Wall...: London - Day 3 - "Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darling"
http://prof-v.blogspot.com/2007/05/london-day-3-do-not-forsake-me-oh-my.html
Aleph-Null Bottles of Beer on the Wall. Sunday, May 27, 2007. London - Day 3 - "Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darling". If you haven't figured it out yet, the subtitles so far are episodes of the Prisoner. My favorite British television show. We watched a weird special recap episode from a comedy show (similar to US late night comedy talk shows, but with sketch comedy) the night before that left a rather interesting impression. The show is called The Friday Night Project. And is pretty funny. While we planned...

Aleph-Null Bottles of Beer on the Wall...: October 2006
http://prof-v.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Aleph-Null Bottles of Beer on the Wall. Friday, October 06, 2006. We leave for Chicago tonight. We had the unpleasant experience of getting to put our (admittedly few) bags in the trunk this morning in semi-heavy rain. This wouldn't have been that bad, except for I always keep a sleeping bag (in case of winter snows in mountains) and a 24-pack of bottled water in the trunk. This led to a few damp logistical issues that were eventually (with much cursing from me) resolved. In other news, I won my *second*...

Aleph-Null Bottles of Beer on the Wall...: February 2007
http://prof-v.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Aleph-Null Bottles of Beer on the Wall. Monday, February 05, 2007. London - Day 2 - "The Chimes of Big Ben". Water Closet" is right! Over by the Cabinet War Rooms. There was even a sign saying not to feed the pelicans. Karen found a cute little cottage on the lake/pond in St. James Park which she really liked. St Margaret's, right next to Westminster Abbey, had sundials instead of clock faces on its tower. It was too cloudy to get a reading, but it was really neat. After the amazing views from the Eye, w...

Aleph-Null Bottles of Beer on the Wall...: September 2006
http://prof-v.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Aleph-Null Bottles of Beer on the Wall. Tuesday, September 26, 2006. So, I've spent a decent amount of time on the Gatling Engine over at CCG Workshop. I have to say that I like it. There are a couple of issues, but on the whole, it plays well, and people generally let you take back your mistakes. On the other hand, you've really got to know the cards to egin with, or things will go fairly slowly (whether you know the game or not). Friday, September 22, 2006. Events conspiring against me. My guess is Pow...

Aleph-Null Bottles of Beer on the Wall...: Bath - Day 6 - "Here Comes the Sun" (stupid sun...) - or, "Six of One..."

Aleph-Null Bottles of Beer on the Wall. Friday, July 13, 2007. Bath - Day 6 - "Here Comes the Sun" (stupid sun.) - or, "Six of One.". Didcot Parkway (I kept trying to snap pictures, but the motion-blurs were bad.). Silos were everywhere, it was awesome! I got several nice shots on our train journeys, including a nice shot of a cluster just past Didcot Parkway. Bath: We de-boarded and walked out onto the streets of Bath. It was a beautiful blue day. Before heading out into the baths we stopped to do a lit...

Aleph-Null Bottles of Beer on the Wall...: November 2006
http://prof-v.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Aleph-Null Bottles of Beer on the Wall. Thursday, November 02, 2006. Apologies, and I told you so. I knew I would suck at maintaining a daily blog. I just knew it. So I apologize for my prolonged absence, but I have no excuses to offer. I either didn't think of posting, or didn't feel like it, and then not posting became normal behavior. It is the way of my life (though it used to happen with home work instead). I saw Man of the Year. B ), The Prestige. A-/A), and Netflixed then purchased Weeds. Seeing B...

Aleph-Null Bottles of Beer on the Wall...: London - Day 5 - "It's a Jolly Holiday with Mary!"

Aleph-Null Bottles of Beer on the Wall. Monday, July 02, 2007. London - Day 5 - "It's a Jolly Holiday with Mary! The plan: eat breakfast at the "hotel", take the tube to the Tower gift shop, see the Bank of England Museum (gift shop), the British Museum, and Leicester Square for tickets to something. Headlines from BBC 1: President Ford died @ 93; Blair, (BA209) overshot runway in Miami; HUGE sales today (which we have no intention of seeing). For the low price of £650.). This is especially funny now, as...
