Being and Time Lord: A for Eigentlichkeit
http://beingandtimelord.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-for-eigentlichkeit.html
Friday, August 21, 2015. One of these days, gotta hit on the ocular metaphor and epistemology. I have no interest in equating artistic authenticity, in the sense of verified authorship, with Eigentlichkeit. A different concept altogether. I can't say I have an interest in authenticity in the philosophical sense. There has been some rehabilitation of Division II of Being and Time. One of these days, if I can muster enough will to read Adorno again, I ought to give Jargon of Authenticity. So why the title?

The Periodic Table of Elephants: Book Review: "Alan Turing: The Enigma"
http://periodictableofelephants.blogspot.com/2015/02/book-review-alan-turing-enigma.html
Book reviews, science talk, science-fiction chat and general geekiness. Wednesday, 4 February 2015. Book Review: "Alan Turing: The Enigma". I feel that I should also say that I did enjoy the movie. As far as movies go it was entertaining and also a bit educational. But I guess going into this book I expected a bit more continuity. Cumberbatch's Turing is not. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). How can I label this? Periodic table of elements. Dangerous Dan's Book Blog. Only The Best Sci-Fi/Fantasy.

Book reviews, science talk, science-fiction chat and general geekiness. Friday, 20 December 2013. Book Review: 'Shaman' by Kim Stanley Robinson. Tuesday, 17 December 2013. Book Review: 'In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex' by Nathaniel Philbrick. But it also goes on to talk about the aftereffects of the tragedy and how the survivors went on living. A great read that taught me a lot about the whaling industry with a lot about ocean survival. Recommended to all fans of those two...

The Periodic Table of Elephants: April 2014
http://periodictableofelephants.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Book reviews, science talk, science-fiction chat and general geekiness. Wednesday, 23 April 2014. Someone's taking the Piss. In the early morning of the 16th of April a teenager from Portland in the U.S. drunkenly peed into one of the city's drinking water reservoirs. The trouble is that he did it in front of a security camera and this footage has gone public. The city's solution: drain and dump 145 million litres of drinkable water. Lets do some quick calculations. Tuesday, 15 April 2014. Of course Theo...

Book reviews, science talk, science-fiction chat and general geekiness. Wednesday, 26 February 2014. The Oldest Rocks on Earth. Zircon crystals are brilliant for radioactive dating because of two reasons. Firstly they're tough, they last a long time and can withstand an amount of tectonic pressures. Secondly, and most importantly, they form with radioactive uranium in their structures AND they do not form with lead in their structures. Why is this significant? Each radioactive decay happens at its own ra...
