It's about forty degrees outside and colder than hell when I walk to work. I get in and my cubicle feels like it's in the mid-eighties. This drastic change in temperatures is going to drive me batty. Plus - "Gödel, Escher, Bach".
In other news, I have just started on a philosophical-scientific-mathematic kick. I listened to The Mystery of the Aleph and my interest in mathematics, reality, and mysticism has been picqued. So in further study, I've picked up God's Equations (about the implications of the cosmological constant and ever expanding universe), Infinity and the Mind, and Gödel, Escher, Bach. I'm going through GEB and "God's Equations" at the same time -- reading GEB and listening to the other -- and I'll get to "Infinity and the Mind" after I finish GEB. It's all very pop-science-esque, but it's also very educational. I have no idea how far I'll explore down this path, but at the moment it's interesting.
Perhaps it's time I should stop giving Steve such a hard time for being such an academic?
