Some of you may know that I'm a fan of Stephen Wolfram. Every since "A New Kind of Science" was published, I've used "rulethirty" on many of the various forums I'm on, in IRC, etc. (which I thought was fairly unique until I just google searched it and find some creepy looking dude using it on a porn network... fantastic..) When I was young, we had a copy of Mathematica. Even though I didn't understand much of its power at the time, it still was a pretty fascinating piece of software. I still don't fully comprehend its power, of course.. but.. I can appreciate it ;)

Anyway.. Marc Andreessen posted something on Stephen Wolfram talking about starting companies. It's a great read, but more interesting was the link at the end to this. Behold, the power of math.

Orlando Magic
The magic are looking good. I know, I know.. "Fool me once.." But for real, we're looking like we got us a squad down here in Orlando. Over the off season, it was really tough to see how it was all going to come together. The billy d thing, the paying rashard 1.4 billion thing, etc. So far so good, and I think SVG was the right man for the coaching position after all.

Billy D was the good looking girl, while SVG is the girl who's good at cooking and cleaning. You just have to decide what you're looking for. Magic fans have been hungry long enough. Cook us a championship Stan!

Okay, okay.. I'll stop.

Kevin Smith
Robbed, as all non-bcs conference athletes usually are, from the doak walker award. 24k told Florida Today that he was planning on coming back for his senior season though, so there's always next year.

We have a more favorable schedule, we're only losing 18 seniors, we have some great talent coming out of of their redshirts, and Conference USA will be just as awful as it was this year. I smell an outside chance of a bcs busting opportunity, with kevin leading the way. Can't wait.

Thanksgiving
We're heading to Ohio this year to spend time with Kat's family. It'll be the second time I've been away for thanksgiving, and my first time in Ohio outside of spring/summer months. Gotta go figure out what box my jacket is in.... ;)

Happy thanksgiving!
