maybe something good will happen
If you have a few free minutes--and if you even happen to be reading this blog you probably have more time on your hands than necessary--you should read Ben Kromer's maybe something good will happen. He's funny. His latest blog is a theoretical analysis of leftist and rightwing political strategy during wartime. All of this is simulated via Warcraft III on his painfully slow computer. His conclusion (if there was one) is "that I suck at Warcraft 3 even worse than I suck at life."
Ben reminds me that, despite all the people I see on TV, there are a few thoughtful, intelligent conservatives out there.
If not for a few friends who don't have blogs, I'd think the same about liberals, and libertarians for that matter. And on and on.
Mike Sheffler's Cone of Ignorance, similarly, reminds me that math majors, though generally not to be seen with in public, can be interesting human beings and are worthy of our friendship--or at least interesting to put behind glass and study.
**Bonus points if you can pick out the sentence I stole directly from Kurt Vonnegut. This is getting ridiculous.

"And on and on."
I see nothing wrong with your spelling.
So it goes.

We (math majors) are like the Morlocks: we make society function in more ways than you would expect while remaining almost totally out of sight and mind. The terrible price, of course, is that we sometimes come to the surface at night to feast on the Eloi.

Leave it to a Math major to prostrate himself at the altar of HG Wells. I agree though. I was a math/CS major for longer than I like to admit. Spend years with Dr. Pabst Blue Ribbon trying to effectively wash my brain of that trauma
