Here lies me old site, some of it litigiously dated and some of it simply dated. There are many facets of the old beauty, and I for one, having written and read it all, would not wish to subject anyone to it. So fair warning.

Most of it is here, in the currentoleum. For a long time I wanted to keep my hyperlinks in the right place for someone browsing from linked sources, but to hell with it. I never wanted to admit to myself that what I was doing was keeping a weblog, and that is precisely what I had been doing, only with fewer easy features and automatic archiving. So for that, the old news can rest where it is and the new blog will better reflect what I mean to do with it, what I meant to have been doing all along. This claim is here to keep me honest.

Anything not linked from here belongs to a classification of my old shit best left be.


Gentlemen, behold! I have created a picture of cyclohexane from a solid-model of the molecules I made. Does anyone else remember an intro chemistry class where the prof let you play with little plastic beads that model molecules and bonds? I do, and I also remembered that I have ample skill with solid modeling software, and currently attend a school with a software-heavy engineering program (that is to say, they do not have a machine shop at all).

Mad Scientific Peer Review: Castlevania Bestiary, Circle of the Moon
The moon may come full circle but the monsters just go but so far and then sortof stop. I think I'll make more bestiaries because this one was pretty fun to make. Anyway, take a step towards madness as I dissect all the specimens standing inbetween Nathan Graves and yet another Dracula-smiting.

Mad Scientific Peer Review: Castlevania Bestiary
I got annoyed at the bad rap these baddies seem to have gotten on the move between Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow. Instead of being sorrowful myself, I decided to analyze each monster and their conferred power to see if I could bring the difficulty shift to light. Or should I say dark!

Mad Scientific Peer Review: Lauren Slater Article
The first, to my knowledge, peer-review in the areas of mad science. Whereas I wish to construct an army of fifty-foot robot tank sentinels to crush my enemies, Slater wants to get inside their heads right now with ideas to stymie love's advances all over the world. Neither science nor culture is safe!

Those Golden Curves

Fall 2004

Excel Spreadsheet and Calculator: This spreadsheet is a demonstration of how you can determine, mathematically, how beautiful a woman is. In the cells to the right of those marked "B," "W," and "H" enter bust, waist, and hip measurements of the woman in question. You may use any unit system you like, as long as all three are in the same units. Since its in excel, its all too easy to reverse-engineer my math, so you may discover what I did years back about the golden ratio. Future versions of this calculator will be java applets that will load into your browser, so there will be no need for the excel, and maybe other versions will take into account head and face measurements, but how many girls, how many people actually know that, eh? Now available in php!
