Meat n' Stuff

So I was think about all the commercials for dog food where they're like "it's made with fresh ingredients" "you're dog knows it's delicious" etc. and they show beautiful images of fresh ingredients. I decided there should be a dog food brand called "Meat n' Stuff", which is exactly that: low quality meat and various nutrients that your dog needs to survive. Here are some slogans I came up with (NSFW):

Meat n' Stuff: because your dog doesn't give a fuck

Meat n' Stuff: because your dog is eating it, not you

Meat n' Stuff: for crying out loud, your dog likes to eat it's own shit

Why did I think this post was a good idea?

So I decided it would be worthwhile to check out the stats on my blog.

Search Keywords that got people here:

All Time

1. dervine7.blogspot.com
2. peter benzi
3. sandra pettinico
4. taliesin nyala
5. "richard wayne lee" or "lee, richard wayne" strained bedfellows
6. nvcc homeschool pdf connecticut
7. patricia pallis
8. peter benzi nvcc
9. petr benzi
10. "douglas hofstadter" utilitarianism

All pretty predicatble. Stuff I've mentioned in my posts (especially the teachers I mentioned in my commencement speech). It's mildly interesting that 2 people apparently got to my blog looking for the article by Richard Wayne Lee that I cited. But who is this Taliesin Nyala? Turns out that she's an Alum of Hampshire, and she shows up on my page because I follow the Culture, Brain, and Development blog. Which makes these next keyword stats very confusing...

Past Month

1. dervine7.blogspot.com
2. "taliesin nyala"
3. agent hujinikabolokov
4. religious humanism strained bedfellows pagans
5. taliesin nyala how pleasure works
6. taliesin nyala naked
7. taliesin nyala sex

Your guess is as good as mine. Especially as if you search those last two the only website you get that has ALL those words in it is mine! ("naked" appears in my blog post about the sayings of Jesus, and "sex" appears in my favorite quotations)

(By the way, Agent Hujinikabolokov is from Sleep Talkin' Man.)

Referring Sites

Actually, never mind. This wasn't a terribly interesting blog post to begin with and now it's 2:24AM. Except for uupdates.net and Facebook, the referring sites just a bunch of referral spam (I'm guessing porn), which is mildly depressing. From Russia, it seems. Although I have been getting a lot more views from Facebook recently, which means my friends are looking at this blog, which is cool! Speaking of Russia, that spam makes it so that they are one of the top countries to view this blog. So there you go.

EXCITING DEVELOPMENTS!

I'm going to start trying to post regularly! I'm sure that for all of you guys who check this blog regularly only to be disappointed by the lack of, well, blogging, this will once again fill your lives with meaning...

OK, so the title of this blog is hyperbolic. Which leads to the second development, which is that I realized my blog was distinctly serious and formal. Which is odd, because I have a distinct lack of seriousness and formality. So, more silliness.



So......yeah. That's the story.

Doodled this during a class...

Old FaceBook Note: My crankpot theory

Terrible quality, but whatever; it's fun:

I was going to write a note with a list of crankpot scientific theories i had about the universe, but then something awesome happened: I got my Scientific American and it had an article about a new theory that's remarkable similar to mine.So this was my crankpot theory: that the ultimate theory of everything could have something to do with fractals. If you don't know what fractals are, look them up: they're awesome and also very pretty.Basically, a fractal is a geometrical object that looks the same no matter how far you zoom in on it.

A fractal.
My reasons for coming up with this theory:1: Fractals are cool2: Fractals are EVERYWHERE!!! For instance, mountains are like fractals: if you zoom in on a mountain, you get rocks; if you zoom in on rocks, they look like mountains. Broccoli is also like this (each little sprig [if that's what you call pieces of broccli) looks like the entire broccoli). As are rivers (you have the big river with little rivers splitting of from it, which have little rivers splitting off from them, etc.). Things that appear everywhere are good candidates for unified theories, at least in my opinion.

Broccoli that resembles a fractal.
3: My impression is that one of the problems with coming up with a quantum theory of gravity is that relativistic spacetime is smooth while in quantum physics space is rough. This made me think of the Koch Snowflake (which you can also look up), which is made up of a bunch of little jagged peices that create what appears to be a smooth line.

A Koch Snowflake.
4: Fractals do wonky things to the concept of dimensions. Since all the other hopeful ultimate theories do weird things to dimensions, this seemed like a good reason.Now none of these reasons seems to be the reason that fractals show up in the theory that Scientific American wrote about (which I won't elaborate on), but it's still cool when it seems someone else who is probably smarter than you is actually working on a similar idea to something you thought up.
