I stayed up kinda late last night after returning from the ARC because I was putting the finishing touches on my philosophy paper. This morning I was about ten minutes late to my philosophy lecture. In the evening my brother, my dad, and I went to chestnut park to play basketball and tennis. Exercise is fun.

Here's a big secret...

You might wonder why I sometimes conclude the first paragraph in my photoblog entries with strangely worded and bizarre phrases... For example, today I wrote "Exercise is fun".

The reason for it is this: I'm a big fan of uniformity. I use the first paragraphs of my entries as excerpts for search results. Ever since starting this photoblog, I've kept my first paragraph to roughly the same length in every single entry. Sometimes doing this requires me to end the paragraphs with weird filler sentences. Occasionally, it takes me quite a while to think of sentences that are just the right length to cap off the paragraph...

Now you know.

If you'd like to read my first philosophy paper, here it is... Compared to past papers I've written in college, I barely spent any time on this one. I started and finished in in the course of a weekend, so the ideas might be underdeveloped. Hopefully I'll get a good grade on it...

The Necessity of Infallible Justification

As a disclaimer, I do not believe some of the things I've written in this paper. In fact, I probably don't agree with most of it. I think philosophy is slightly silly in that we think too much on things that don't seem to need that much thought to understand. We all understand what knowledge is in an abstract way... Why is it necessary to devise a clever way to define knowledge using conditionals?

Despite the silliness, epistemology papers are still entertaining to write.

Rumors have been circulating that the Cal Bears and Davis Aggies are currently in talks to trade sophomore Computer Science Engineer Michael Zhang. Terms of the deal have not been discussed, but it is rumored to be in the $7,500-a-season range.

More details will be announced as they become available.
