“Fermat’s Last Theorem: Unlocking the Secret of an Ancient Mathematical Problem” (Amir D. Azcel, Amir D. Aczel)
I read this on the flight into San Francisco yesterday. It’s been awhile since I’ve read a math story (I last read, “The Mystery of the Aleph: Mathematics, the Kabbalah, and the Search for Infinity” (Amir D. Aczel)). Amir [...]
I’ve been shopping around for an iPod dockable portable speaker system for awhile. Some friends have Altec Lansing boom-boxes that they are pretty happy with so I looked to see what they have available. For $150 I ordered the im600 from the Apple Store and after figuring out my new address, they had it [...]
I went out last weekend and did a little video-game shopping. While I occasionally punctuate breaks in Halo3 with bouts of Rock Band, I do sometimes crave more singular adventures. So I rifled through the cheap bin at the local EB and picked up Dark Messiah Might and Magic Elements for $29.99.

This is just a shout-out to my heavy rotation page which I just updated. It’s got a list of some of the albums I’ve been listening to a lot lately, though to be honest, anything in my collection right now has to compete against the staggering “In Rainbows” by Radiohead.

Worse, I tried watching The Bourne Ultimatum on the HD-DVD player and it crapped-out halfway through the movie. There was an available update for the HD-DVD player which I didn’t dare apply because of all the wonkiness. After some cursing and wringing of the remote, I pulled the disc and [...]
Well, sort of. We were still having some issues with it last night, but prod and I were able to sign in (and stay signed in) until the wee small hours playing Halo. I made it to level 30 in Team Doubles!
So, thanks Major Nelson and the hard-working team(s) at Microsoft’s super-sekrit Xbox LIVE Server [...]
Got back from the East last night after a harrowing drive through wintery conditions to settle into my couch for some much-needed Xboxing with my homeys. Prod and I managed to play a couple games of Virtua Fighter 5 before getting unceremoniously dropped from Xbox Live. At first I figured it was local network problems [...]
