Cards - Seqram
http://seqram.livejournal.com/29485.html
December 11th, 2012. 10:38 pm - Cards. A recent (re)obsession with me these days is playing cards. I have a small collection of somewhat unusual decks of cards (which I have unfortunately been adding to rather extensively lately), and I seem to have infected my daughter with it as well (hi, Esther! By Albert Morehead) that I read ages ago when I was a kid. I was so interested in the idea I went out to Woolworths(! That would be a fine set of cards indeed! Now all I need is about 400 people whod want to b...

Cultural Changes and Risks - Seqram. October 7th, 2011. 10:51 am - Cultural Changes and Risks. There were stories in the press about the outburst of assent from the "Tea Party" faction during the recent Republican debates when asked whether someone who chose not to buy health insurance and later became catastrophically ill should simply be allowed to die. I'm not going to pass judgment on the viewpoint, or talk about agreeing or disagreeing with it, but it does need looking at to see what it entails.

The U.S. Army Did Something Wrong! - Seqram

The US. Army Did Something Wrong! September 7th, 2010. 02:40 pm - The U.S. Army Did Something Wrong! Maybe I should use a title that's a little more surprising, in order to grab the eye. It's hardly news that the Army gets things wrong. But I have a feeling this one hasn't been noticed before. Take a look at this scan of the periodic-table side. And I found a mistake. One so subtle and bizarre my wife has classified this as a Mark, you are so weird. Whom do I write to about this, anyway? I’ve bookmarked ...

Shouldn't it apply to everyone? - Seqram

Shouldn't it apply to everyone? September 18th, 2012. 08:51 pm - Shouldn't it apply to everyone? So, was in synagogue today; it was the second day of Rosh Hashana. OK, ok, so I got in late, in time for the end of the sermon. And the Rabbi was talking about the famous gemara in Yoma. Page 35b, which says how the Heavenly court will demand of a person, why did you not study Torah more? Its the last one that makes me wonder. Because of course, how did R. Eleazar b. Harsom manage his great wealth? No, becaus...

I had trouble logging in because of an apostrophe in a password, and the error message was very obviously a sanitation problem (Error in SQL at string. obviously because the quote ended too early). An apostrophe in an input field should not cause a server error. (I really.

Counting and Geometry - Seqram. July 19th, 2010. 05:22 pm - Counting and Geometry. Just a quick note about something I saw in the drugstore last week:. Note that the device is being advertised as a Hexagon Gazebo. Note also that just to make the point clear, we have a little image of the hexagon, clearly labeled as a 6-sided Structure. Now take a close look and see if you can figure out why I felt it necessary to post this. July 20th, 2010 05:17 am (UTC). July 20th, 2010 09:55 pm (UTC).
