You heard it here first

Chaos theory pioneer Jeff Goldblum, er, I mean Edward Lorenz, died today, apparently when a butterfly flapped its wings directly into his eyeball. His last words: "Not like this! NOT LIKE THIS!!!!"

Sol LeWitt: No longer my favorite living minimalist

When I worked at the Pitts Theology Library at Emory, there was a really cool Sol LeWitt structure right outside my office. I was really pleased with that, because I had been studying LeWitt and his "art objects" just a couple of years earlier. I don't know, I thought that was cool.

The structure was this mathematical construct made of equal-sized bricks. The base was 5x5x1, then the next level was 4x4x2, then 3x3x3, 2x2x4, and 1x1x5.

Eh, none of this is very interesting. Move along please.


EDIT: By the way, if you didn't know, Sol LeWitt just died. I should have mentioned that earlier.
