Chaotic Utopia
A tangenital mix of blogliness, studying the effects of time, change, and chaos
Profile
A student in Colorado, looking for some sort of synthesis--the big picture, encompassing all the strangeness in the universe--but willing to settle for the philosophic or poetic lens.

Looking for Frankenstein
Category: Ethics
I've kept this research paper in the archives for too long. Converging topics as diverse as bioethics and Gothic literature, it was one of the most enjoyable papers I've ever had to write. What better day could there be to...

Freaky Fractals
Category: Fractals

A Hint of Rosemary
Category: Lens of Fiction
The air was thick with the aroma of bacon fat. This was a comforting, home-like scent, yet the feeling was anything but comforting. In the midst of this tense, smoky atmosphere, an old crone hunched over the stove, struggling with a jar of herbs and cursing under her breath. Her trembling fingers painfully twisted the lid. With the lid sticking fast, her knuckles turned white. She threw a look of contempt across the room, to the figure sitting at her dining table. The edge of her lips curled upwards in a sneer, and a small puff of air escaped her nose, as if from an agitated fighting bull. The presence of the stranger gave her a feeling of anxiety, an emotion she struggled to conceal.

Some Philosophy, a Few Autumn Photographs, and a Canal
Category: The Arrow of Time
Is a place timeless? Is a hill the same hill after a hundred years, or a thousand? For instance, this black and white photograph on the right shows a canal along the Front Range. But how old is it? Does...

Friday Fractal XXI
Category: Fractals
To compare this evening's fractal with nature, take a walk. Look beyond the scaling patterns in the autumn leaves, the branching trees, the billowing clouds, and up into the darkness of space. If the time is right, you'll see a...
