This week was very full (though I suppose that doesn&#8217;t mean much for me&#8211; I only worked 20 hours for my clients), so Friday was a chance to blow of steam through random projects.

Well, it didn&#8217;t start out that way&#8211; it was just a technique I thought would be fun to play with (painting with melted wax).

Inspired by the discussions of my class on exploring the future, I&#8217;m developing a framework for combining System Dynamics and Complexity Theory.  I&#8217;ll call it &#8220;Histrionics&#8221; (from &#8220;Historical Physics&#8221; and &#8220;Cybernetics&#8221;).  It&#8217;ll be right up there with the Rising Constant (<i>n&sup2;p<\/i>) as one of my great contributions to humanity.<\/p>\n<p>I build some software a few months ago for making a collection of random partial backups of all my data on CDs (because backing up everything at once is such a timesink).  Well, last week I got a nice big external hard drive, so I started merging in some ideas to make it an passive-aggressive version-controlled repository for all my projects, email, and media.
