Birthday Problem or Birthday Paradox

keefner — 2009-08-31T17:32:58+00:00

One of my favorite entertainments is being in a group of 50 people and wagering someone that at least 2 people share the same birthday. My mathematical probability is over 99% surprisingly (at least I think).

Dignity code hasn't survived modern life

keefner — 2009-07-13T15:37:34+00:00

Article by David Brooks on the death of dignity in modern life. Begins with George Washington and 110 Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior. We no longer have time for decent actions or civility, and those of us that make time seem more out of step and less likely to survive...Then again it is the decent and civil that are remembered and honored still.

Mark Cuban thoughts on the better path that internet companies living by the free should follow. In case of MySpace, why fight it? You're going down, you may as well optimize that path revenue-wise.

Politics 2008

keefner — 2008-10-26T18:01:23+00:00

After 8 years of mismanagement and misdirection by the Republican party, I waited to see if the 1st objective of the McCain platform would be to reform the Republican party direction. Difficult to reform a country when you won't reform your party first.

Instead he adopted the do anything to win mode.

Couple that with having to watch the Republican party doing everything possible to discourage and suppress voting and I am now at the point of officially leaving.

If there were ever a single issue I think could demand my vote it is our right to vote (and for that vote be counted). When a political party has it best chance of winning with fewer voters, then I know which party not to vote for.

Scotch Whiskies

keefner — 2008-01-26T22:50:42+00:00

Single malt scotch used to be something that I avoided. Sometimes we'd do Irish whiskey with beer and I could never remember anything the morning after (that's when I switched to beer). Anyway, seems that I am developing a taste for it after all.
