In the LA Times: Computers
Used to Make Science Fun. Nowadays they just make it more boring.

I will probably regret this, but I'm going to stay in the Linear
Algebra class despite the better time-coordinates and superior
easiness of the Differential Equations class. I just don't want to
deal with differential equations anymore.
The Linear Algebra class is easier to justify to UCLA as a technical
minor in conjunction with my two number theory classes, anyway.
And then there's that chilling sentence on the top of
the DE
instructor's homepage...

Someone spent a little time doing a Jar-Jargonizer.
Fine. Wholesome family fun. But they didn't spend just a little time on it, because they spent enough time on it to exhaust the conceptual space to the point where they came up with
a hook for the phrase "Austin Powers" (See my page).
And who knows what else. I dare say someone spent a whole weekend on this.

In my Texas travelogue, I make reference to a bit on an old Cowboy Copas
tape in which Cowboy Copas and his pal play the same little country
riff over and over again, calling it by names like "The Great Speckled
Bird" and "Dreamin' Tonight of my Blue Eyes". I had thought that the
bit was that they were making up many different titles for the country
riff and calling them different songs, but it turns out that those are real country songs which all
use that same riff, and the bit is making fun of the repetitiveness
of those songs. It's still a funny bit, though not quite as funny as
I thought it was. Cowboy Copas needs a page on mp3.com.

Woohoo! An A in 199 means a 3.66 GPA for the quarter, which (I think)
means I get on the dean's list. I don't know why I'm excited about
that, but I am.
