Nick Black hey goodreads peeps! if you've enjoyed reading my reviews, maybe you'd enjoy reading my book, The Finest Machine. and if you think that's plausible, perhaps you'd even like to fund my writing of that book:

Rakhi Dalal Thanks for the invite:).....Your profile is quite interesting !


message 64: by Jen

Jen Um, that book about Napoleon's Russian Campaign is only a buck fifty used, so come October, I'll be needing your address. For gifting purposes. Of course.

Well. Maybe. I might also ask math questions.


They'll look like Algebra III. I've got everything before that covered.

Megha Nick, look at the last quote on this page.
This character could easily be based on you.

i had not. some wanks at my beloved Georgia Tech of all places tweeted it once or something. ugh it depresses me to think about.


message 61: by Eric

Eric Byrd Impersonation was spot-on! Every paragraph should suggest, permit glimpses of, motion towards a hundred other stories.


Joshua Nomen-Mutatio Yes, I did see that. Good fun.

Did you get the Wallace thesis? I hadn't seen your e-mail address posted in response way back in November 2010 until today.

heh, i hope you've been to my profile and seen the FEATURED "covers are for proles" shelf.


Joshua Nomen-Mutatio "she-blinded-me-with-science" and "stupidly-expensive" are both great shelf names.

Incidentally, I've recently begun using "blinded with science" as a euphemism for smoking weed. A friend bought a slightly unusual toking apparatus that he dubbed the "science pipe". Hence...

Nick Black karen wrote: "hmm - are you looking for some sort of visual shelving unit graphic?? or are you asking for shelving standards and practices?? i'm not sure i am following you"

so i want to make a nice legend/pictomap of the information provided in comment #32 here: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/4...

if you're doing, say, a process flowchart or an entity-relationship diagram or street signage, there are standard designs. does any such thing apply to library/book maps? grok? xoxo

Lewis Daniel Sorry I missed you yesterday, Dank, happy belated. 30 years, and at the very least least one faithful devout. You've got ~three more to catch Jesus.


message 44: by Lewis (last edited Aug 28, 2010 03:10PM)

Lewis Daniel I've attempted delving into Ulysses several times now, to no great avail. But I'm moving back up to school today, selecting which books to use as antidote to what the "humanities" professors will try to impress upon me (before I am to attempt my fate-entwined jump across the chasm into the sciences, إن شاء الل), opened the opus to a random page and was instantaneously and wildly consumed by laughter of a most uproarious nature; and I was by no means even processing the text thoroughly! I was just enraptured by laughter. Urrrrghhhh, I lost the page. But just thought if anybody would be able to grok with me on this lil anecdote here, it'd be you ;).

message 34: by Natalie

Natalie true Southerners are well aware of Florida's at-best-pretender status.


I get a pass... I was born in the Midwest. ;)

Yes, Florida is basically a dick-shaped Bible with a pair of Mickey Mouse ears.

though, point of fact, when i first saw the image i thought "isn't it technically ho, ho, ho!? in that case, we need $((ho)^3)!$ but if it's ho!, ho!, ho! that's right out."

daniel, you goddamned idiot, the point of it being a variable instead of a constant is we don't know what it is.

if it was 0, it wouldn't be any hoes at all!

karen, thank you for your gracious comment. i will be touring northeastern graduate schools of repute this spring, and do hope i can drop in on you or something.

message 20: by Natalie

Natalie Suffering Christ. More than twenty years later, and the Rock-afire band still makes me want to run screaming for my mommy. Something about anthropomorphic animatronics unleashes the Uncanny Valley effect and makes me want to curl into the fetal position.
