Fun Little Math History
It’s a little too what if we’re just an atom in the fingernail of some god to my sensibilities, but this page over on disenchanted.com provides some interesting background on the history of Pi, Phi, Chaos Theory, Strange Attractors, Mandelbrot Sets and Cellular Automata. via

Xerox Art Show
Oh, man! The Xerox Art Show is really well done. I love the scroll to the right presentation to the thing as well. I really sort of felt like I was in a gallery. Excellent. A must see. Via

Oh My God
This has got to be the most frightening thing I’ve ever seen on the internet. And let me just point out that I’ve seen Tub Girl and the Goatse.cx guy, so you know I’ve been around and stuff. I just try to picture in my mind the circumstances under which David Hasselhoff green lit that…

James D Macdonald has an interesting series of posts on the art and business of writing commercial fiction. No time to read it now, so I’m just bookmarking it for later. via
