It will probably be quite a while before I get anything finished here; but this should give you an idea of what's to come.
| COA Project - An exercise in apologetics. |
| Home's Cool - Stuff I miss about being home schooled and how irksome college has been. |
| Proclivities - An idea for a book about personality theory. |
| What is Time? - A prolonged address to this question. |
| Quantum Ramblings - A 'brief' correspondence explaining quantum theory, particularly Schröedinger's Cat, as I understand it from various pop-science readings. |
| My One Try at Sci-Fi - My own galactic saga, inspired by Star Wars. |
| Quasi-Sci-Fi Ideas - Just some weird thoughts that keep getting remembered and rehashed. |
| The 'Discovery' Approach, Technology and Rote Memorization - Ideas about math education. |
| The Revival of Alchemy? - Analysis and speculation on the power of nanotechnology. Nanotubes; Smart Materials; Fountain of Youth Potions; and perhaps ultimately the power to manipulate matter at the subatomic level. |
| Gone with the Force - Plagiarism in Star Wars |
| The Goldberg Genre - Rube Goldberg is the earliest comic I know of to introduce the "ingenious but useless process" template. I've especially noticed similarity in Roadrunner and Pinky & the Brain. MacGyver (and Sherlock Holmes, to an extent) also does this but the inventions are useful. I haven't really started this yet, but I'd like to review all material of this "genre," and try to trace how it developed. Maybe Goldberg wasn't the first... |
| Character Virtues in The Lord of the Rings Anthology - Various virtues that are exemplified by the characters, the anthology as a whole considered as a tale of perseverance, and reflection on why this epic is so difficult to make into a good movie. |
| Biblical Parallels in The Chronicles of Narnia - Side by side comparison of Narnia passages with scripture, theological debate, and particularly with Lewis' more straightforward philosophical/religious writings. I've heard J.R.R. Tolkien was partly responsible for leading Lewis to Christianity (at any rate they were good friends), so maybe I ought to combine the above subject with this one. |
| Bitterness - This is just an e-card I found one day. I find the blatancy therapeutic for cynicism. |
