math and stuff

I came across these videos, tonight, by Vi. She's pretty cool.

The first one is about Fibonacci spirals found in nature. Check it out.

Farewell Reel

At lunchtime today, I read that jackiejj died yesterday. It was odd that Cyn and I had both (unbeknownst to each other) had been thinking of her in the last day or two.

Not long after that, Cyn discovered that her cousin Wayne died suddenly, of a heart attack.

It a was a sad day.

And then on the way home from work, my car played Patti Smith's "Farewell Reel." It was written for her late husband, and one of the saddest (yet hopeful) songs I know.

I don't know why but when it rains it rains on me
The sky just opens and when it rains it pours
But I look up and a rainbow appears like a smile from heaven
And darling I can't help thinking that smile is yours
