Regular Singular Points

I have a son, Éamon, who is red-green color blind (deuteranopia). This is a fairly common condition, but we have always asked ourselves “what does Éamo see?”. With help from the Vischeck image filter plug-in, we get to see just that.

As far as we can tell this is very accurate; Éamo can not tell these images apart.

I just have to say that any television program that correctly uses the word “defenestrate” and even works the word into the plot is okay with me. CBS, the American television network, runs a television program on Friday nights called “NUMB3RS“. The show centers around the brother of an FBI agent who uses mathematics to help with difficult crime investigations. Episode 2.05, “Assissin”, which aired on October 21, 2005 correctly uses “defenestrate”.

When they finally mention the mathematician Georg Frobenius, as they did in the film “A Beautiful Mind”, I will feel complete.

This is the most disturbing meeting room. Ever. Now that I no longer work for the organization that created this meeting room, I feel compelled to share this photo.
