Teresa Nielsen Hayden likes, among other things, to knit. I like, among other things, to do math. Sometimes, these overlap. Like now! There's a link on her sidebar today to another intersection of mathematics with the fibrous arts. You, too, can now crochet your own model of the two-dimensional stable manifold of the origin of the Lorenz system, that chaotic dynamical weather model system thingy that spits out all those pretty butterfly pictures of strange attractors. I'm still not really sure what a strange attractor is; not my field, y'see. I keep meaning to look it up...
Actually, why don't I do that right now? Yes, now!
This is about as useful as a completely pointless thing to a person.
Now I know. Now you do, too. We learned together. Isn't that sweet? Give me a hug. Give me a hug or I'll beat a hug out of you, so help me God. Don't make me take my belt off. I'll do it. Don't push me. That's it. You're asking for it. I'm getting Mediaeval in a moment, I swear. Just as soon as I'm done being a total sissy. Should be any moment now. Really. Any moment...now...
Really soon now...
Don't go! I'm about to get all primitive and savage on your unprotected buttocks.
Come back!
I made scones...
Hello?
