Powers of Two

Okay, I know I just had a post called “Two Ideas”. I guess I’m feeling binary lately. Here goes….

The two books I bought today

1. Algorithms — this is for Computer Science 312. I think it will go a long way towards being able to understand what the people in the NLP lab are always talking about.
2. The Art and Craft of Poetry — this is for fun. It was something like half off and I think I might get some good ideas on the process of poetry.

Two poems I just posted

1. The Poet’s Trap — a musing on poetic (non-)conformity
2. “And Ye Would Not!” — don’t be a monk and get involved in civil wars. Maybe be a monk. Maybe be in civil wars. But don’t do both. (At least not at the same time.)

Two more days until I return to school

1. Sunday
2. Monday

(Yeah, those two days. Not any of the other ones.)

Multiply it all together…

…and you get 8 book-poem-days, known in le SI as 8 hansens. Perhaps the units are a bit unfamiliar, but the student can nevertheless easily comprehend from this example the power of twos. Or was that the powers of two?

The Power of “Too”?

Bye.
