Mathematics and Social Networks
That title is entirely aimed at getting my geekier readers to see this joke Zoe and I came up with.
Zoe: “I can’t believe Dylan would rather hang out with one sixth grader than three 8th graders.”
Dad: “I guess that means that he thinks you’re in Grade Two.”
Zoe: “Wah?”
Dad: “Well, do the math.”
- 3 x Grade8 = 1 x Grade6
- Grade8 = 1/3 x Grade6
- Grade8 = Grade2
Zoe: “Great Dad, why don’t you just blog about it instead of teasing me.”

EVERY morning when I wake up, Aerosmith’s “Dream On” is playing in my head. That CANNOT be good.

When I started healthyken.com I didn’t think that anyone would really read it, let alone want to comment on the details of my eating habits. Turns out though that folks are reading it and quite a few have commented on the fact that they want to comment. Unfortunately tumblr doesn’t allow for comments and I’m still not sure I want to move my health posts to this “official” blog.
Therefore I’m opening up a comment thread below for anyone who wants to comment on anything they read over at healthyken.com.
Enjoy!
Update 2007–12–26: I changed my blogging platform at the end of 2007 and unfortunately one of the things lost in the move were the 23 wonderful comments people had left on this post. Thanks for all the encouragement folks! You know who you are!

Twitter needs a better image placeholder for people who haven’t uploaded their avatar – a dude with the briefcase & umbrella is rather odd

I just finished the third in my series of “why I was right to never believe in god in the first place” books, namely “god is not Great”. I listened to Christopher Hitchens’ audiobook version which I highly recommend. Hitchens is a total character and his fearlessness shows through in his reading.
