I didn't fully understand this (perhaps because I am still exhausted from my trip), but those of you who dig quantum mechanics and string theory might like this. Or have your mind blown.

'Holographic Duality' Hints at Hidden Subatomic World | Wired Science | Wired.com

According to modern quantum theory, energy fields permeate the universe, and flurries of energy in these fields, called “particles” when they are pointlike and “waves” when they are diffuse, serve as the building blocks of matter and forces. But new findings suggest this wave-particle picture offers only a superficial view of nature’s constituents.

If each energy field pervading space is thought of as the surface of a pond, and waves and particles are the turbulence on that surface, then the new evidence strengthens the argument that a vibrant, hidden world lies beneath.

For decades, the surface-level description of the subatomic world has been sufficient to make accurate calculations about most physical phenomena. But recently, a strange class of matter that defies description by known quantum mechanical methods has drawn physicists into the depths below.

Yes, WHRRC (Woman who runs Ryan's childcare) is looking for a hard copy. I think she's already got the .pdf, and a recording of the song.

For some reason I don't think she's understanding that I suffer from a lack of can that is more overwhelming than my lack of want. I think I will be bringing the spoons metaphor with me to the next meeting.

There can be a chasm between "want" and "can" a lot of days.

I hope the spoon story will help her understand at least somewhat. I don't know that people have retained the knowledge but they've, to at least some degree, understood it in the moment when I've pointed them to it.

The camp is actually for grown-ups - attendees with ages mentioned were 26 and 45.

Sounds like grown-ups who regret having grown up.

Allie Brosh's book is now available for pre-order, which I have just done.

I don't like being sent meeting invites for ten minutes in the future, no matter if my calendar is clear. I am taking breaks now (getting a walk in, thanks) and they last fifteen minutes. And sometimes I'm doing work. That isn't on my calendar. It's safest to give more lead time than that.

Okay, gotta go. Got a 10:30, apparently.

Today is a good day I think to watch a lot of MST3K on Hulu.

Dear [secretary], you know, if you are going to take credit for the work other people have done and present it as your own, and then get asked a follow up question, it might be a good idea not to send the people who did the original work the emails showing that you are taking credit for the work, especially if you did it in a way that makes it look like the other people missed something.

Are her books like the web comic, Zen?

Good god.
