3 27 A ≤ B
My mom told me “Portland is a retirement community for young people.” No truer words spoken, Ma.
I recently bought a used book the other day, and inside was a notecard that said ”A ≤ B”. And on the reverse side it said “Interpreted: A is a subset of B.” I love it when I find things like this in used books. Inscriptions like “Happy bday, Al, from all your friends at work.” Or, one time I bought the Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath and it said “Something to get you through your troubled time” or something like that (as an aside, do not buy that book for someone going through a troubled time). I once bought Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Neitzsche , and inside were all these meticulous notes in the margin like “WHAAAT?” and “…..this is wrong”. My favorite was “Disturbing, yes.” Disturbing as it was for the former owner, the notes ended around page 85 or so, which is pretty much where I gave up, too.
I just found out that a co-worker of mine is the international, undisputed Space Invaders champion of all time. He’s soon to be featured in the movie Chasing Ghosts, about the video game world in the early 80′s. How rad is that?
