Hey Dwayne. i also don't have the book, but relied on jenkins' personal blog and what i could scrounge from the google book indexing... For some reason i couldn't justify purchasing someone's glorified blog entry. I wish we stuck with the New Media Reader, there are some great articles...

Thanks so much that you posted comments on my blogs. I really appreciate it. No Finally, machines can't beat humans if we're not so lazy. For youtube stuff, I didn't see you posted, so I thought I'm the first one who post. :D

Dwayne, it is funny if you go to Wikipedia and read closely the list of current members as of 2006. The Wikipedia article states, "Note that Oulipo members are still considered members after their deaths, although dead members are excused from group meetings." If they were a really radical group, they would have their bodies embalmed and propped in a chair.

Hey Dwayne,

Bush may have an accurate definition of what a mathematician is and is not, but most of the math folk i have encountered have an uncanny ability to multiply, divide, add and subtract crazy fast. But i guess that is kind of the point. They are so trained and skilled with symbolic logic, that they are able to apply different kinds of tricks to different number sets. Accountantants are good with this stuff too.
Then again, maybe those not schooled in such trickfoolery merely take the answers to be right, on the simple basis that they 'calculated' the answer so quickly, never bothering to second guess them and perform the calculations for ourself.

I really like this video.  The idea that more choices can be a bad thing is amazing.  Thank you for sharing.

Go to the top-right side of the screen, on it you'll see a "Account Settings" link.  You can set your name there.
