4/25/2006

here is the blog of johannes goransson who is one of two editors of action books which is the publisher of my poetry book

here is a post he made

in the comments section i typed something that i always type

but that is always ignored

or else is argued against by calling me 'stupid,' 'immature,' or 'cute'

i encourage everyone to go there in order to call me 'stupid,' 'immature,' and 'cute'

also to copy-edit my comment

thank you

dear Tao,
I have to make a poetry anthology for school.
I was wondering if I could use one of your poems for it? Credit would be given of course. I quite enjoy your poetic style.

You normally do a good job of staying out of those discussions, and writing.

I know you're actually trying to make them discuss something else.

You won't. It's impossible. They love it too much.

I don't want to lose you too.

You also said "don't ask me questions." Which does not encourage discussion.

I answered your post.

Sniffle pants.

Pants that sniffle.

Pants which, in accordance or opposition to their pantage identity, also embark upon a rigid sniffling regime.

my brain is interminable

Interminable?

"The human brain contains about 50 billion to 200 billion neurons
(nobody knows how many for sure), each of which interfaces with 1,000
to 100,000 other neurons through 100 trillion (10 14) to 10
quadrillion (10 16) synaptic junctions. Each synapse possesses a
variable firing threshold which is reduced as the neuron is repeatedly
activated. If we assume that the firing threshold at each synapse can
assume 256 distinguishable levels, and if we suppose that there are
20,000 shared synapses per neuron, then the total
information storage capacity of the synapses in the cortex would be of
the order of 500 to 1,000 terabytes. (Of course, if the brain's
storage of information takes place at a molecular level, then I would
be afraid to hazard a guess regarding how many bytes can be stored in
the brain. One estimate has placed it at about 3.6 X 10 19 bytes.)"
