There’s never a day without Wikipedia.
That’s why I’m back on it after so long. I’ve still been looking up this and that in Wikipedia everyday. Now’s time to make good on that contract I made with myself way back when: http://wikipediclife.blogspot.com/2008/02/why-wikipedic-life.html.
Also, if you’re using Wikipedia yourself on a regular basis, then in time or treasure, make sure to show ‘em your support: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Support_Wikipedia/en.
And with that…
Heard that Darren Aronofsky has an upcoming feature called ‘The Black Swan’. Still don’t know what it was about. The comics geek in me thought this may have had something to do with the pirate comic featured in the graphic novel “The Watchmen”. Turns out this was called “Tales of the Black Freighter”. Ah well, guess again. Here’s the cool stuff I learned about in the process:
- black swan theory - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_swan_theory
- falsifiability - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability#Inductive_categorical_inference
- (Heisenberg) uncertainty principle - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisenberg's_Uncertainty_Principle
- ultraviolet catastrophe - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet_catastrophe
