My old blog

Well since I am not keeping up with either blog I figure I will just combine them, so here is entire contents of Ryan's Random Science Thoughts:

Sad isn't it...

Just poping in
Since no one reads this the pressure is really off.
I think I will go more the direction of having random thoughts and perhaps I will through in a science thought now and again.

Off topic:
The world has a new pope. I am not pleased with the choice but it is really not my concern. I give him 10 years tops, but I would say that 3-5 is more likely. I fear the look in his eyes, there is fire and hate in them.

On topic:
I am job hunting and on one hand I will have no problem finding a job, on the other are they jobs I want?
I have been pondering game design with some people I know, I would also enjoy a think-tank (or intelligence) format, since I enjoy complex thought exercises.

Well hmm
It seems due to patent law that this was kind of a bad idea.
I will have to ponder whether or not I will continue my blog or if I need to let it die.

Intro
It has been suggested by someone whose opinion counts that I create a blog in order to wax poetic on various and sundry topics. The common theme will be ideas I come up with or things I wish to whine about otherwise it will be fairly random. While I have doubts that anyone will read this ever I will for a variety of reasons not put my best ideas on here.
Now then I am not just another nut who posts crazy ideas to the internet. I have a BS in Microbiology, and am a month (more or less) away from a PhD in Molecular Biophysics. I have a great number of papers and while I can’t talk about parts of it have contributed significantly to microarray technology, and data analysis. Well all that proved is that I am educated not that I am not a nut, so for that you will have to take my word for it.
Now back to the introduction:
I am a lover of circle reasoning, oh sure people claim circle logic is flawed, but they just use it wrong. Think of it this way if something is true then it should be possible to take the answer and the assumptions that were made and regenerate the question. If the answer is right and the assumptions fill all the free variables this will work, if either it fails then either the answer or an assumption are wrong. I will grant you that not all problems can be double checked this way, but the ones that can’t just aren’t modeled well enough, or contain a black box that hides part of the network.
If you can’t tell already I like think outside the box. Actually I don’t think outside the box most if the time I am unaware the box exists. As I say ignorance is my greatest ally, since on several occasions I have solved impossible problems easily, because I didn’t realize they were unsolvable. (This includes the either NP complete set of problems, which if I run low on new ideas I will post the scheme.)

I think I will quit for now.
