Misc.

I probably won’t be writing much on the old blog this week. I want to start working hardcore on my thesis and get it done quickly enough that I’m able to take some time off this summer.

I might have to blog though, to keep from going insane. I find it hard to exclusively write scientific papers. There is not enough creativity and humour (somewhat ironic, given I am currently writing about creativity) in them. In my thesis, I tried writing stuff about zombies and eating brains, but my advisor wrote a note saying “I’d remove this paragraph” on it. Bummer. Well, in a few short years, when I’m Doctor Phronk and calling all the shots, I’ll infuse zombies into every paper I write and nobody can stop me. If journal editors don’t like it, I can publish my genius contributions to science elsewhere.

Here is one thing I learned today while writing about technology in my thesis: You should not capitalize internet (i.e. write it as “Internet”). Here is why it is dumb. This probably applies to many other words that people capitalize for no Good reason.

Oh and I saw Nacho Libre on Friday. A good movie, but not on the same level as Napoleon Dynamite. Worth seeing if you like that kind of humour though, and if you like Jack Black. Personally I can’t wait for the Tenacious D movie.

Anyway, that’s it. Sorry for the boring pictureless post.

    I did a group project a few months back where I went around uncapitalizing all the appearances of “Internet” and it caused quite the debate so I was like, “whatever guys, be losers, see if I care.”I am curious about your thesis topic where you can bring in paragraphs about zombies, Dr. Phronky, real curious. And I thought the communication and culture discipline was shitty… Work on your thesis though. The internet is pure evil… Me, here, now, typing this is proof.

    Thanks MQM, I definitely should read that. The movie (Serpent and the Rainbow) was OK, but obviously not quite a true story. My thesis is actually about the interrelationships among creativity, intelligence, and intuition. It’s fun stuff.
