thinking more about soup spoons and soup bowls. like melodies as pods that fit onto soup spoons. and projecting the composition in fill-in-the-blank notation in the bowl somehow…


hmm

artificial intelligence has made games seem dumb

not chess


or Go


but Sudoku? why does anyone play sudoku. just slowly cutting away at arbitrary domains. I guess it’s cool to be able to see which is the most constrained. but still, so boring.

also for next semester ;.)

still having trouble with this whole internet persona thing

I don’t really twitter, I’m often really uncomfortable with facebook. I’m trying to get better and convince myself of this always being on exhibition thing. 


This is an interesting story by amanda palmer about how to make your online identity a makeshift marketing frenzy, in an indie non-corporate way. i think it’s pretty cool. 


i think kickstarter is also a step in this direction. If I ever need to monetize the music thing, it’s going to be something I have to figure out.

the missing piece

a plugin for scratch that enables you to make your very own blocks. I feel like this just might supply what was missing from the already powerful metaphor for programming that scratch is built around. Will have to mess around with it over iap :.)


Pretty exciting. Thanks ben for the link. 


also ben wrote a really good article here:

I never realized how Shel Silverstein’s "The Missing Piece Meets the Big O" is a parody off of the story of the circle people in Plato’s Phaedrus. 


So many interpretations of the circle people in the Phaedrus confuse the intention I think, but Shel gets it just right and makes it more accessible. 


Thanks Clare for the link.

Montessori education can’t be too successful if it didn’t result in you knowing what you want to do for your life.

haha

Scott: oh that’s really funny longest common subsequence


Scott: when i was at bear, i wrote a program to do precisely that


Larisa: what was the O of your algorithm?


Scott: i respected my algorithm’s privacy in that regard

One Day...
