From the Wikipedia article on the 1994 film "North" —
"North is forced to ship himself home in a FedEx box.
He reaches his house … but as he runs toward his parents,
an assassin takes aim. As he squeezes the trigger,
North awakens in the mall, now empty. The Easter Bunny
takes him home . . . ."
The film's author —
Zweibel's FedEx box suggests a review of
the post Geometry for Goyim (June 6, 2018).

Mary McCarthy's philosophical remark in the previous post
suggests further investigation of the number 281 . . .
Another way to secure 281 –
McCarthy's "materialization of plot and character" does not,
for me, constitute a proof that "there is being, after all,
beyond the arbitrary flux of existence."
Neither does the above materialization of 281 as the page
number of her philosophical remark.
See also the materialization of 281 as a page number in
the book Witchcraft by Charles Williams —
The materialization of 168 as a page number in a
Stephen King novel is somewhat more convincing,
but less convincing than the materialization of Klein's
simple group of of 168 elements in the eightfold cube.
From this afternoon's New York Times obituaries,
a paragraph on an author who reportedly died
Wednesday —
A 2016 Scribner edition of Stephen King's IT —
"We want every student to have a fulfilling experience
of higher education that enriches their lives and careers."
Sure you do.
Floyd: "You're trying to figure out this length.
That's the hypotenuse. So you have to
know this angle."
The title is suggested by a vintage 80's Wendy's commercial
featuring a Soviet fashion show.

Interview by Alice Lloyd George [AMLG] at techcrunch.com
In an interview for Flux, I sat down with Natalya Bailey [NB], the co-founder and CEO of Accion Systems. AMLG: When you talk about aliens I think of one of my favorite books by Carl Sagan — Contact. I don’t know if you ever watched the movie or read the book, but I picture you like Ellie in that film. She’s this brilliant scientist and stumbles across something big. NB: I’ve definitely seen it. I’m currently making my way through Carl Sagan’s original Cosmos again. AMLG: I love the original Cosmos. I’m a huge Carl Sagan fan, I love his voice, he’s so inspiring to listen to. Talking about books, I know you’re an avid reader. Did any books in particular influence you or your path to building Accion? NB: Well I’m a gigantic Harry Potter fan and a lot of things around Accion are named after various aspects of Harry Potter, including the name Accion itself. AMLG: Is that the Accio spell? The beckoning spell? NB: Yes exactly. My co-founder and I were g-chatting late one night on a weekend and looking through a glossary of Harry Potter spells trying to name the company. Accio, the summoning spell, if you add an “N” to the end of it, it becomes a concatenation between “accelerate” and “ion,” which is what we do. That’s the official story of how we named the company, but really it was from the glossary of spells. |
