Nerd Paradise : Calculating Base 10 Logarithms in Your Head
Calculating base 10 logarithms in your head on the fly is a lot easier than you may think. It is simply a matter of memorization and a little estimation... First memorize all the single digit base 10 logs. Don't worry, it's not as painful as it sounds. Remember this rule from high school? And what about this one, you remember it too? Good. Example #1: base 10 log of 400 That's the same thing as log(4*100) which equals log 4 + log 100. log of 4 you know from the table above. Now you may ask, what if it isn't just a number with a bunch of 0's after it? Example #2: base 10 log of 35 Suppose you wanted to find the logarithm of 35. Our guess: 1.545 Calculator says: 1.544068... Now you can convince all your friends and teachers that you are autistic. Example #3: base 10 log of 290438572: This is fairly close to log(2.9 * 100000000) = log 2.9 + log 108 2.9 is close to 3. Our Guess: 8 + .45 = 8.45 Calculated Answer: 8.46305... Now run off and scare some people with your new powers. User Comments: 14 Fixed.
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Chapter One A SQUAT grey building of only thirty-four stories. Over the main entrance the words, CENTRAL LONDON HATCHERY AND CONDITIONING CENTRE, and, in a shield, the World State's motto, COMMUNITY, IDENTITY, STABILITY. The enormous room on the ground floor faced towards the north. "And this," said the Director opening the door, "is the Fertilizing Room." Bent over their instruments, three hundred Fertilizers were plunged, as the Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning entered the room, in the scarcely breathing silence, the absent-minded, soliloquizing hum or whistle, of absorbed concentration. "Just to give you a general idea," he would explain to them. "To-morrow," he would add, smiling at them with a slightly menacing geniality, "you'll be settling down to serious work. Meanwhile, it was a privilege. Tall and rather thin but upright, the Director advanced into the room. "Bokanovsky's Process," repeated the Director, and the students underlined the words in their little notebooks. Mr.
No Media Kings & Time Management for Anarchists: The Movie
I’ve just finished a Flash adaptation of my Time Management for Anarchists seminar. I started doing the talk a year and a half ago at Canzine and have done it a half-dozen times since, mostly at infoshops and political bookstores (Austin, Montreal, Berkeley, Vancouver) and also at a couple of events (New Orleans Book Fair, the Vegetarian Food Fair). It’s based on the paradoxical notion that anarchists have to be more organized than average if they don’t want to depend on power structures, and presents some ideas on how to kick the boss habit.

Sometimes a self-replicating thing makes a copy of itself with a mistake in it.

Astral 101: Extensions of Self
Namaste, and welcome once again to Astral 101! This is the second issue, and there’s a lot to cover. First off, I will announce that Astral 101 will come out with a new issue weekly every Saturday! This will then be followed by introducing a new segment into the series, Lucid Lessons, and then continuing on with our main subject of becoming acquainted with the concepts related to Astral Projection. Now, let’s proceed… Over the past couple of weeks it has become prominent in my mind that Lucid Dreaming is vital to Astral Projection. So let’s begin with our first… In my previous post, I defined lucid dreaming as an experience when we are aware we are dreaming and can control the dreamscape. Lesson #1: “No sailor controls the sea. As just stated, the sub-dimension of our minds is but a place we travel and explore. I know you’re all going, “okay, we get it. We all have dreams when we go to sleep, and we all have varying imaginations. Every human being has the trait of dimensional evolution.
