Scratchindog pisses on a tree. To create the habit of writing, irregardless of quality. Monday, 16 February 2009. A week of headaches. I remember thinking. I awoke with the dream not finished and had an urge to roll over and sink back down perchance to sneak another episode. After all, John Goodman had mysteriously made an appearance. My wife was making the coffee, however, and the guilt of my selfishness rolled me out of bed. Why don't I want to write about it? Why don't I want to write about this stuff?

So I'm going to re-work the problem using a slightly different metaphor. Given what they know, they have a one in three chance of getting out alive (staying in the village gives zero chance of living). Suddenly one villager remembers they have a radio with which to call central command. Perhaps they have more information about where the mines are? If A is safe (1 in 3 chance be...

Scratchindog pisses on a tree. To create the habit of writing, irregardless of quality. Monday, 13 July 2015. Why history matters (part 2). As is my want, I drank a bottle of wine and went to bed. And yet, I could not sleep. And it was because of something I read called the Monty Hall dilemma. Here is the summary:. You now have two choices left, the one you picked, or the other door. There is a 1/3 chance that you chose the right door to start with. If that is the case, your tormentor can open either...

Scratchindog pisses on a tree. To create the habit of writing, irregardless of quality. Monday, 26 July 2010. Gordon Brown has just given his first major speech since loosing the UK elections. He was speaking in the Ugandan capital, Kampala, and was pumping up the future of Africa. In an attempt at self-depreciating humor he said he "spent some time as a politician before becoming a community organizer." This sent a little shiver down my spine - a community organizer? Providing services for the poor, hey?

Scratchindog pisses on a tree. To create the habit of writing, irregardless of quality. Monday, 19 August 2013. Why I am awake when I shouldn't be (or why coups should be called coups, and killing is wrong whatever way you spin it). I am angry. Mad as a cut snake, they used to say. I've been reading the coverage of the massacres in Egypt. This is a difficult one for me to talk about. Why? Well, I've never been to Egypt - and it is hard to talk meaningfully about a place you've never been, whose language ...
