Are you referring to the attached image? It looks very pretty to me, but it seems rather similar to all the 'modern' i.e. relatively recent variations of the ampersand. They have broken apart from the structure which generally has the visible 't', but I would believe that is because they weren't trying to be etymologically coherent. They were trying to make the existing variation which looks more like a mirror reflection of a cursive 'S', pretty. Would you differ in your opinion or thoughts?

tell more about the Bickham script - it's radically different.

Does a line have breadth? Nope. They have apparent breadth, but don't the latitudes and longitudes have that too? They are lines, after all.

Actually to thing of it, even the axes have some breadth, so they aren't exactly perfect either.

Yes Yes. The new theme.

Talking weirdly? That would be a vast understatement. If you're referring to the new theme, thanks. And if not, I really didn't get what you said. :)

oho
swankaye!!
I'm referring, ofcourse, to your home page that it most delightfully altered. Am I talking weirdly? I blame SAT.
New Post! New Post! New Post!

Nice work dude! Still didn't know that you are officially the Tech Khopdi. :P

Btw, when was this posted? Is the date on the top right - right?

Nope it wasn't. I've won it multiple times too. The thing is, I can't say I'll win for sure. I want to know how to always win. It's somewhat easy to guess the cat's move. But I can't always win (as I've already stated). I want to know how to do that. (go to the gamedesign.jp site, and keep on playing. And tell me if you're some awesome champ at it. :)

How do IIT questions make you think about integration? :O

And I was anyways looking forward to that! o.O

Mathematicians are such a despondent lot... if it's not an apology, it's a lament...

But seriously, amen. The full realization, though, comes only with integration. And then IIT questions. Which make you *think* about *integration*. Bit of a shocker the first time.

Nice. :D This one is _awesome_. Try out Constipated. Or Ode to a Superhero. Or, even Yoda. I kinda like the fact that Weird Al's got a lot of songs based on Star Wars. :D

Re: Moebius Transformations Revealed

That's a fairly well-made video. It was a little weird in the beginning, I was wondering why it was defining moebius transformations on planes, instead of on a riemann sphere, as is normal, but it's still nice. Really helps in visualising a transform, I guess, though it's very easy to do that yourself. Making it into a video... not so much. Where didcha get it?

happy realization. And you really thought I would? (apply for tech head, that is.)

Dude, seriously, I'm not Ac head. I'd rather not apply if it comes down to that.

is an autobiography. Now, I generally wouldn’t be caught half-dead reading autobiographies, but I’d received “raving reviews” for this one. And so, I just had to read it. Also because the guy was like, a legend of sorts, from what I’d heard of him. I really won’t tell you much about the book, except for the fact, that it’s purely a must-read. For fun, for knowing stuff about “the curious character”, for time pass, and for satiating your thirst
