Opening act for Leon Redbone, Jan 18, 2008

As loyal readers know, I am a semi-retired professional magician. I live in rural upstate New York, where there’s not a lot of work for magicians, except at birthday parties, weddings, etc. I’d rather eat a raw frog than perform at functions like that, so I don’t get a lot of gigs up here.

So I was happily surprised yesterday, around 2 pm, when Ken, the owner of the Night Eagle Cafe in Binghamton, NY, called me out of the blue, and asked if I would perform that evening as an opening act for Leon Redbone.

Would I open for Leon Redbone? Is 2 a prime number?

Mad Fun

Filed under: random weird — Brian @ 7:28 am

Some days, like when it’s going to be hot and humid, and you have palettes of rocks to move to make rock walls, and cords of wood to stack, you procrastinate. (What, you don’t?)

Today’s procrastination efforts have lead me to invent this little icon:
madicon
Can you guess what it stands for?

I’m not sure if you’re technically allowed to use different fonts in an icon, but what the heck. It works with plain-text too, but not quite as effectively.

If you’re the first one who can, send me an e-mail and I’ll send you the MathMojo e-booklet of your choice.

Hoskeebo!
