2009 Oct 05 10:37 (#4184.12671):I am late to the game and have only tenuous claims to either a Bacon or Erdos number (this is the DC variant, where you don't actually have to have worked with someone to claim to know lots about them and feel that you are close enough to network/leverage their connections ;-), but I wanted to play anyway.
Bacon-3: friends from college with one brian tjaden, whose brother brett developed the Oracle of Bacon linked above, and (I believe, unless my imagination has run wild over the years) met the man as a result. Bacon-4: my former roommate was an acting-friend/classmate in Chicago with Tyler Mane, who is a Bacon-2.
Erdos-4: I took calc3 with David Cox, who is an Erdos-3. He is a very nice man and by all accounts a very good mathemetician, but my lasting memory of him is that he totaled the points on my exams wrong. Twice. That I know of. (Once he forgot to carry a 1, and another time he completely left off a 20-pt answer because he didn't turn the page. I still harbor suspicions about my final exam grade.)
2009 Apr 04 02:36 (#4125.12514):Oh, sorry to cause the confusion w/empty bracket. I didn't log in til after the tourney started, and then just to see the standings. Silly me, i should've known i could follow along here. :)
2009 Feb 12 10:13 (#4098.12404):I thought readers of this post might also like this other one.
2009 Jan 26 08:37 (#4097.12378):Panorama version, taken by a guy who evidently had really good seats (needless to say, also a v. large file). I had fun zooming in on the snipers on top of the House building in the background. [Then, if you look between them and the photogs on the bleachers, back to the second blue gate, that's where I was stuck until bailing. Harumph.]
2009 Jan 19 09:33 (#4086.12357):Can I put this here even though it's no longer in the Music subject? It's the original Star Wars trilogy as related by someone who's never seen the entire movie -- and animated accordingly (sort of) by her friend.
2009 Jan 11 08:32 (#2582.12332):
2008 Dec 08 09:40 (#4053.12215):Hm... would you be equally disappointed at someone knowing a Prizm from a Corolla?
2008 Nov 20 10:05 (#4052.12167):The connect-the-line ballot is actually supposed to be more reliable than most (no misalignment, mislabelling, or non-entry problems). But I confess to nonetheless having a glimmer of the same nervousness the first time I voted in DC, which has the same setup. It's just absurd that there's so much variation, not just in ballots, but in voting regulations, election hours, etc., even within a single state, much less the entire nation.
2008 Nov 06 02:18 (#4033.12093):My favorite parts of the FOX story on Palin's ignorance are the reporter's use of "knowledgability" (twice) and reference to how she was added when McCain's shortlist was deemed "not inadequate".
2008 Oct 27 05:23 (#4033.12065):PS - Maybe the RNC consultant interned with Harriet Walters.
