Hey, Dr Jones! No time for love...

About Me


Y'know?
I don't think that nearly enough people on this planet have a sufficiently deep appreciation for large, properly formatted data files.
Honestly. Can't you SEE the...
...nvm
K4's Laws:
    Everything depends on the element you take for granted.If the removal of your force of will from a system causes immediate and complete stagnation, the system was never sustainable.
    It is extremely safe to trust people: Trust each individual to continue to behave exactly as they have.
    Some of the things that hurt the most to lose, are the things we never had.Most people are trying to do what looks like the right thing, with the data they have.
    While it may be wildly erroneous in the present tense, conventional wisdom always started somewhere.
    For those with genuine understanding, anger is a rare and precious luxury.Stability can be a form of torture.It is insidiously easy to become far more attached to the idea of love, than to the solid, present, real object of one's affections.
    We lie to ourselves in order to remain comfortable, especially when we aren't. The intentions of others are often imagined; Very little that will ever happen, will have been deliberate.
    Logic changes nothing; Its only function is to describe, and it can describe everything if you have both data and patience in sufficient quantities. We fail by having neither.
    There is no such thing as thinking too much, so long as you can multitask.Timing is everything.Lag does not denote indifference any more than haste denotes true compassion.Behaving as if you may lose someone at any time is a universally self-fulfilling prophecy.
    As long as you are still alive, giving up is always merely temporary.
    Acknowledging that giving up is only temporary completely negates the usefulness of having done it.Taking the long view too often can make you forget to see to the little things, which are still your responsibility.
    Living too much in the moment can make you forget that it's the greedy algorithms that generate most regrets.
    You cannot choose what you believe any more than you can choose who you love. Neither means you have bought anything.
    Yesterday's undisputed fact may already be today's hilarious lie.
    You never know if people act differently around you, because you're never not around to see the difference.
    People's opinions of others have inertia on a planetary scale.
    There are far worse things than mental or physical pain. (See K4's 8th law)When faced with diametrically opposed presentations of the truth, reality is often exactly in the middle.
    Most malice can be traced back to a single misinterpretation.Regardless of weather or not we can explain how they work, instincts are very real. They are far better trusted than ignored.
    Most people are waiting for something.
    Few people have any clue what it is that they're waiting for.
    Explicitly forbidding something is a great way to make it inevitable.
    The only difference between "Strong" and "Weak" people is the ability and inclination to defer debilitating emotional reactions until such time as nobody is around to see it.
    Optimism might make you cute, but pessimism makes you safe.
    Foresight is handy, but worthless if you can't also think on your feet. Or, midair.Intelligence starts with willingness to admit when something isn't working. Doubly so when the thing that isn't working has your name on it. The more words you use to explain something, the more likely it is that you will be completely misunderstood.The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few (or the one).If you really live by number 37, you damn well better take care of yourself. Otherwise, there won't be anybody left who thinks that way.Stealing laws from Spock doesn't make them in any way less true.Real love is, among other things, inconvenient, messy, complicated, and completely unavoidable. Even under the best of circumstances, there is never a "good" time.There will never be a better time, to get real.

My Interests

Blinding you with Science.

And amazing 80s movies.

I'd like to meet:

Somebody who believes in Stuff, who makes me feel Ways. Please: Go ahead and madlib yourself into that equation in whatever way you feel is best.

Music:

The Phenomenauts
Everybody who knows me socially will eventually have to go see them in order to remain my friend. Sorry, but that's just the way it is.
Ready for this? GO, little dudes!

1... 2... 3...
Science and Honor!
(I love that part)

My Top 10 Overall Tracks:

Best Screensaver EVER SETI@Home - Stands for the Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence, at home. Pretty much, you use your computer's apparent downtime to help look for aliens. Rocket Roll fans: Click on the link above to join as a member of the =Phenomenauts= group, and dedicate those wasted clock cycles to Science!

Movies:

It's been WAY too long since I've seen the Back to the Future trilogy. Little help?
Favorite Trick The "Bait-and-Switch". I mean, come on: Who doesn't love THAT one?

Television:

Venture Brothers, Battlestar Galactica, Tim&Eric's Awesome Show Great Job, and... basically, just give me all your cartoons, or the puppy gets it.
Current Video Game Obsession(s)
My poor wii... is being so very neglected.
*SAD FACE*

Books:

I'm reading all my Mercedes Lackey books one last time before selling them. I haven't touched those since High School, except to move them.
...books are heavy.

Heroes:

The Pure of Heart (and butt), and Paul Allen (not just because he has a glorious Array, but I'd be lying if that said it didn't get him major Points).
Entertaining Websites Homestarrunner.com - It is possible that some day I will die laughing in front of this website.
ThinkGeek.com - These guys have the best toys. Pretty much everything I want (materially) can be bought there.
Red vs. Blue - Caboose has the best quotes. "I think it would be Ironic... if we were all made of Iron." <-- Gold.
Engrish.com - I go for the Hot Space Station Justice.
Die Anstalt - Psychiatry for mistreated stuffed animals. This website is alternatively cute as hell, and completely F'd up. Enjoy!
Overclocked ReMix - Are you like me, in that you have been a consistant video game junkie since you were old enough to pick up a controller, you love to hear old video game music revived, and occasionally have bandwidth to burn? The songs on this site range from Inarguably Epic, to Throbbing Head Pain Waste Of Bandwidth. Search by origin game title, or artist if you find anything good. Oh, and let me know if you do! It's been about a year and a half since I really dug through the thing.
