“prime numbers belong to the most arbitrary and ornery objects studied by mathematicians: they grow like weeds among the natural numbers, seeming to obey no other law than that of chance, and nobody can predict where the next one will sprout”

fucking blizzard

I’ll be without power soon enough. It’s a mad dash to get everything as charged as possible and enough propane and gas to keep things heated.


Started snowing 10 hours ago and we have a little more than a foot already and it’s still coming down.


I know people in other parts of the country laugh at 12-15” of snow but around here in the backwords of the midwest that fucks some shit up. We’re not prepared for the snow on the roads, people have no experience driving in the weather and every toothless jackass in a 4-wheel drive truck thinks he’s Iron-Man and causes more accidents than ice and snow combined. Did I mention that the ice causes trees to fall and branches to snap which takes out power lines right and left and then leaves me in the dark?


Here come the dark ages.

61,000 American's call for Piers to be deported after he call's for assault rifle ban.

Sometimes I hate Piers Morgan. 


Then sometimes I love him. Calling the Executive Director of The Gun Owner’s of America an ‘Unbelievably stupid man’.. Golden.


The petition ‘alleges Mr Morgan “is engaged in a hostile attack against the US Constitution by targeting the Second Amendment”. ’



…while they target the much more important First Amendment. Deport the 61,000.

This book is not for everyone.“Lost in Infinity” is...



This book is not for everyone.

“Lost in Infinity” is a novel that many readers will find hard to define. In fact, it’s much easier to list what it is most definitely not, than what it really is. It’s not necessarily a tale of suspense or a thriller. It’s not a mystery by normal standards. It’s not inspirational, romantic or full of laughs. Depending upon your perspective and final take on the tale, it’s not even entirely fiction.


Starting Christmas morning, LOST IN INFINITY will be available for free as a Kindle download for all your new electronic toys. More than just Kindles, the free Kindle app is available for everything from smart phones to iPads so there’s really no excuse not to download it.


Promotion runs through the 28th.


Pass it along. This will be pinned up here every day until the 28th when the promo ends… the squeaky gear gets greased. Or downloaded. For free.


Paperback is also available for $14.85 at Amazon and $14.39 at Barnes & Noble among other online retailers around the world.
