The sound I get when I first plug my Gibson Firebird into my 100 watt Marshall amp and chug off the first couple chords, it's almost orgasmic. especially when it's during the set up period just before me and the band are about to play!

Café meta-favorite ... maybe my feeling of unsurprised disappointment when a post claims to have found or gotten something that's not even advertised yet and the poster wants to share their excitement over an item which they could not possibly have spent the time needed to get the item into regular performance to have any sense for how well the item serves the needs of a working performer. Seconded perhaps by the suppressed surprise and eyeroll elicited by posts asking for rumors and information on items which are not yet advertised. It's like the shills and puppets can't be bothered to wait for retail demand signals. Even the monthly real secrets blast of pointless mad-libs of detail flirting don't compare as the joke about retail market magic shop interests asking customers to keep secrets got old when the detail request posts started.
Is there a preferred font for putting words on blank cards used in closup magic? Anyone got a back design that all but screams "trick deck" ?

The number. I had a truly transcendent mathematical experience involving that number. And since we're all here, I'll share it with you.
One day, towards the end of college, I was sitting waiting for a bus. I noted the house number across the street was 1407. Without doing any conscious mental calculation, I instantaneously realized 1407 was an interesting number, because it's 111 in base 37. At the same time, 111 (in base 10) is divisible by 37. (Although it might not need to be said at this point, I was a math major in college.) Immediately after having that thought, I actually didn't believe it. So I (consciously) computed 1407 in base 37, and sure enough... it was 111. Then I was overwhelmed with a few feelings. First, in all immodesty, I was really impressed and even amazed at myself. I felt really optimistic about my future as a mathematician. Also, I felt this kinship with some famous mathematicians in history. There are many stories about mathematicians solving important problems like this... completely serendipitously. One story involves a mathematician, Poincare I think, who stepped off a bus and noticed his shoe was untied. So he bent over to tie it, and as soon as he grabbed the laces something clicked, and a solution to an important problem lept into his mind, fully formed. He described it "as if someone else had polished the proof and put it in my mind without my knowledge." There was another guy, Ramanujan, who almost never could explain how he solved problems. A famous story with him: upon solving a complicated problem, someone asked (in disbelief) how he did it. His response was, "I knew the answer had to be a continued fraction... so I just thought, 'which one?'" Anyways, I had no idea how or why I realized the fact about 1407, so I felt closer to Poincare and Ramanujan and all these really heavy hitters. But then, a moment after that, I got kind of sad. Typically, these flashes of insight only happen once or twice in a person's career. And for me, it was about a completely insignificant fact. What a waste. Sure enough, a couple years later I was in law school. I haven't had any remotely similar flashes of inspiration since. |

Ha Mobility. Ramanujan also had a famous bus number story. Hardy said that he mentioned that he had ridden on a bus with the uninteresting number 1729, to which Ramanujan (according to Hardy, anyways) immediately said that it was an interesting number because it is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways.
You were closer to Ramanujan than you might have thought!
