Me and the Old Frankfurt Opera House, as reflected in a Volkswagen, 2003.05.26

• A man needs to know his limitations

  I have this recorded with the note "SUV"--I think the concept being the freezenfreude of SUV owners who ignored that admonition and ended up deep in a snowbank.
• A while back on Christian Rightwing Radio I heard Focus on the Family talking about "Bill Kennedy", who was in jail unjustly, according to them, but they were very coy about the crime. I couldn't find anything online then, but now he and his case have their own website. Not as interesting or scandalous as I had hoped.
• Math Geekery: I should really look into recreating this, but in highschool I looked at the equation for a circle, x² + y² = a constant, and realized that there was an infinite set of generally untapped values that satisfied this equation if you used unreal numbers, i.e. the square root of negative one. I graphed and got some parabolas, if memory serves. I was proud of myself for thinking outside that particular box.
• The buyers' broker we used for our house mentioned her husband like the dice.com index of hightech jobs but I never really followed up on that.

• Because history is a tragedy and not a melodrama.
