DAY 003/365: "Previous"
"Discrete enemies, delete memories, & portray photos as mischievous,
Remembrances retreat, occurrences repeat, as recollections stay in the form of previous..."
How many times have you looked at a photograph & told yourself, "Those were the good old days." It's funny though 'cause in my opinion, photographs are memories that will never happen again. Best friends move away & find a new best friend, families split up & never keep in touch, relationships break apart & form into new relationships,etc... Time will come by & change every single thing. Mentally-wise, it's painful sometimes. For many of us, lookin' at an old photo or an old album will bring back so many forgotten & lost memories. Today, will always seem so much different from yesterday & tomorrow will be nothin' like today. Photographs are merely just the memories we love frozen on paper, a reminder to us of what the past was like. Take a picture of everythin' & anythin' you can, because you never know - One day, it may be all of what you have left of what use to be.

An expansive multidisciplinary collaboration between mathematicians, dancers, media artists, composers, and engineers, this complex experimental augmented reality performance is truly the first of its kind. This newest dance performance probes the circuitry connecting the corporeal to the cognitive, questioning the very essence of humanity and machine. Alan Turing is often called the father of modern computing. He was a brilliant mathematician and logician. He developed the idea of the modern computer and artificial intelligence Turing thus gave birth to one physical incarnation of mathematics. His creations are the embodiment of the act of performing mathematics. Although his contemporaries would see a sharp delineation between human and machine, in his eyes, his progeny did not constitute a distant “other”. Rather, he was the father of a “living machine.” How might mathematics manifest itself as physical expression? What binds human cognition and philosophy to a human being’s body? How might this connection dissolve or transform in time? The full-length show follows the emergence of mathematics in relationship to the human body, exploring perception and our physical modes of expression through a complex set of emerging technologies.

a discrete picture of some guys playing mahjong. I thought it looked cool despite being crooked. notice the one guy on the far left looking at me, thinking "does that whitey think I can't see her taking a picture of me?"

Photo of yours truly by Nikolai on the stunning route, La Discrète, a fantastic 10-pitch, 6b sport route in Presles, France.
There are small, discrete colonies of ESOs all along the East Kent coast. Someone told me this week that they have been found in every monad between St Margaret's and Dover.
But for the casual orchidist, finding a new one, or revisiting one previously seen is always a pleasure.
I counted 24 flowering spikes, which is the most I have seen on this site.

Discrete and harmless though this may look, the Powerball is most certainly ferocious! The Powerball has a ball within a ball, and this device has been designed to work your forearm by keeping the inside ball moving. You do this by rotating your wrist round and round, but the more you do this the harder it is to control the Powerball. As such you gain strength by attempting (and hopefully succeeding!) to control and maintain the rotations of the inner ball, and also stamina from keeping a consistent and repetitive wrist motion.
The Powerball fits in your hand, and measures about 3-4″ in diameter. It claims to be “The Earth’s Most Powerful Gyro”, and it really does make your arms ache from using it! You start it off by winding up the inner ball, making it spin fast and then enforcing a circular motion with your wrist. It takes a little bit of getting used to, but once you get the hang of starting it up – and it will take you a few attempts – and get used to the feel of the motion, then you will be able to maintain a good rotation rate, and hopefully increase that over time. It can be difficult finding the right rhythm though, so you do need patience.
The first few times I used the Powerball it hurt my forearms to use it for more than a couple of minutes, but over time it’s possible to build up stamina and muscle, or even just to tone your arms a bit. I find it works well when I’m watching television and not really concentrating on it. I like how it keeps my hands busy, although it can be a little noisy as the inner ball typically rotates several thousand times a minute. This one also has a white light which may be a little distracting for other people.
I wouldn’t put an age limit or suggestion on this device, but most who appear to be interested in the Powerball are males between 18-30 years old. You can get it for around £25, although the price does vary quite a lot.
This discrete but famous restaurant is 50 metres from my school and attracts seriously famous people - and me!

The DWT is considerably easier to implement when compared to the CWT**
pyramidal coding which is also known as multiresolution analysis
The key contains a discrete light. While useful for opening a lock at night, in keeping with the bricoleurs' ethic of repurposing I think I will carry it with me when I venture into the agora, where torches are, although tolerated, not entirely welcome.

The Biology Station has three discrete areas—Is It Fatal?, Whose Skull?, and Beans and Seeds—where visitors explore the flora and fauna of the Mexican rainforest. Each area is equipped with charts, and expert’s notebooks to help visitors identify the various specimens and learn about the roles of local plants and animals in Mayan culture and Central America today.
