Not into politics? You too can become a Human Mobius Strip with the Up Periscope Anal Self Exploration kit. Some liberals have actually reported seeing their brains while on self exploration missions.

TAS an abbreviation for Tattered Asshole Syndrome. This is a real risk for working in the porn industry for women and gay men. It is also a metaphoric risk for us living in societies dominated by Lawyer-Politicians.
Not to be confused with Instant Asshole Syndrome.
In 1992 I bought out a computer school. For the total of 1500 dollars I got -1- a bunch of computer desks, chairs -2- television projection units ( an ancient version of DLP ) -3- washer / dryer -4- a couple of computers -5- god knows what else
This was one of the computers This was my first deal where I was trying to make a buck on my own. So I ended up with all this stuff piled up in the garage and now needed to sell it! One of the more memorable encounters selling this stuff was with Carlos Coquet the Computer Maverick.
Carlos' business card. Colorful character, colorful card He called up and got directions. He was driving from North Scottsdale to Litchfield Park Arizona. It took him about 50 minutes to drive there. I had listed the computer for 120 dollars but he did what everyone tries to do when they buy secondhand…they try to finagle a lower price. Carlos: I am looking at this computer and I think I could not possibly pay more than 80$ for it. Me: Well … I have another guy coming to see it tomorrow night. If he does not buy it then you can come back and buy it. Carlos: Ooohhh the drive here was so long. Alright I will give you the 120. Me: chuckling inside and thinking..there was not another person coming to look at the computer. But finally the endless ripping I had been sustaining as a novice seller had come to an end. I had finally learned a little deal jujitsu.
Sonofa! After receiving the comment below regarding calling the number I googled Carlos and found his website:

… I still do not exactly know what a computer maverick is but that is 95% of the fun.
UPDATE: As you will see below a couple of people below have reported Carlos has passed away. Some commenters had criticized me for placing his card here with his information. I no longer have any self doubt about this. My heart is warmed by the people who left comments regarding his passing and how they miss him. It's interesting how the really good people can pass through your life very rapidly and leave a trace that in the end increased my humanity. Carlos we miss you.
How does parallelism arise?
Assumptions: -1- You had a 3 bit register with each bit in a mix of both states — states 0 and state 1 -2- You then perform operations on the register When you perform the operation you will be performing the operation on all the possible values 000 through 111. Thus is explained the parallelism of quantum computing. That is its advantage over classical computing. If you do not understand how a physical system can be in both states at the same time you need to go back and study more quantum mechanics.

If I want to run a long distance or go up Squaw Peak I try to remember to thin my blood before going. This allows more rapid flow of the blood with the same cardio effort. Thus you find you Read more…
I have a friend Mark who dated a depressive girl for a while. She grabbed a photo off of the net and did the artwork and emailed it to him with the caption written beneath the photo. He forwarded the email to me as it was quite freudian and funny. Signs of failure abound in this artwork. First of all this knight is up to his knees in water. Not a good thing when you are wearing iron. The worst part is you sink and drown if you fall. Secondly and more germaine is you rust. I knew her so it was likely she sensed the relationship was a temporary one at best. Of course cutting and pasting in the face is more than a little comical also.
Her words were "My knight in shining armor …..or not."
The base state of an electron in an infinite potential well has the most "space" for the electron state. Thus it has the maximum entropy. Take that same state and imagine pinching the electrons existence to nil in the middle of the trough. Now you have state-2. The electron now exists in a smaller entropic state and guess what? It contains exploitable energy now. This is like a spring compressed. The electron can decompress and exert force / expend energy. For example in an interaction with another atom possibly a recoil could occur. In a crystal lattice an electron can transfer its energy to the atom next door and in effect yield conduction. All these are preliminary suppositions subject to more scrutiny. As mentioned before since the electron exists in this potential well in the form of free fall it can not have any acceleration. Thus its distribution must thoroughly avoid the edges of the well were it would indeed experience accelerations by bouncing and recoiling off of the walls.
One time a long while back I dated a really good looking girl I met on Squaw Peak named Daniel. Incredibly beautiful body and face. She was a strawberry blond. One time we visited my friend Mark after hiking. We stopped by his apartment to talk for a while and then left. Daniel was wearing some sort of fragrance or deoderant. She generally smelled good no matter what. After we left Mark's girl friend Cathy arrived at his house. She walked in the house and said " Who have you been having sex with? It smells like sweat and perfume in here!" A classic line if ever there was one. She was a bar tender and tended to be on the easy side to get into bed so she should know about the smells. Later he caught her in bed cheating on him. Our suspicions can give us away. Just as there is no honor among criminals. Said another way we transfer our behavioral expectations upon others. We expect others behave as we do. Thus if we are shifty we tend to be very suspicious. Of course dating is brutal in the USA where there are so few attractive women to be found so this rule of human behavior must be applied judiciously.

The bread is from a really good padaria near here. In the morning I get up and ride my bike to the mercado. I pick up what I want for breakfast and ride home. Talk about stress free living. The cheese is "colonial" and is fresh and alive yet. The dried tomatoes have a great sweet taste with herbs. Put it all together with some salamie and you know why I think its great to be alive!
