paradoxical running
Update. I found that seeing the running fella was driving me nuts nuts nuts so I moved him to the bottom of the page, under the news. I couldn't deep six him because now he seems alive and that would be, well, killing....

Please join me in welcoming a new addition to jmbm, the energetic cheetah up there, running toward my flickr photos links quasi-buttons. (With thanks to The Yarnpath, a knitting blog/site I just discovered.) It reminds me of Xeno's paradox, that nice little piece of logic about how you have to go halfway from here to there before you can get there. And then you have to go halfway from halfway to the end. And then halfway of what's left. And so on and so on and so on. All of which is true except that you just infinitely keep reducing the distance to ever smaller amounts, and never arrive. Except, of course, that you do! Ah, Plato. . . .
