|CerTAINTy|

I've been reading more of Proofiness, a book I talked about a while ago on mathematical deception. The book so far has started off with the idea that numbers are "purest" when being handled by mathematicians. This is because no units of measurement are attached to them. Since forms of measurement that physicists and basically all other sciences use are created by man, they must have some degree of error to them. It is the actual process of measuring things that causes this discrepancy. There are a lot of forms of measurement that are very accurate and useless to dispute. However, he brings up the unit of measurement IQ used in measuring a person's intelligence. I really have to agree with him in the sense that questions in the IQ test may be a way to gauge how clever someone is, it certainly does not constitute grounds for a measurement of someone's intelligence. I think it's something nearly impossible to measure.

So when you see those very nice flashy ads on the internet about raising your IQ 50%, it might be best not to believe them.

Haunted Condo

Today I checked in with my family in a condo in Key West, Florida. Apparently my dad got a really good rate on it. But the odd thing is, is that it's really nice. As a result I came to the conclusion that is must be haunted.
 The podcast is still in the development stage. When I get back home I'll be contacting a few people on recording our first episode. I also still need to think of the content, kind of important. If any of the five people reading this have any desire to be on the podcast or write video game reviews please shoot me an email or leave a comment.

Stay classy,

Podcast Endeavor

Big news!
I'll be starting up a video gaming podcast with my good friend Michael Botros. It will be Canadian. It will be glorious. You can find it here. We'll mostly be doing reviews on video games, movies, and really anything else we find interesting =]. It's called Kanuckast, a name so well thought up by Michael. Please give it a listen when we get our first episode up. I'll most likely post here when that happens.

Stay classy,
