greetings ... just another otaku geek.
The Copenhagen Interpretation
There is a sharp disagreement among competent men as to what can be
proved and what cannot be proved, as well as an irreconcilable
divergence of opinion as to what is sense and what is nonsense.
-- Eric Temple Bell, Debunking Science
There was nothing really weird about Blake Williams, except that he was passionately in love with a dead man. This great, if somewhat bizarre, passion was entirely platonic, of course - nothing queer about good old Doc Williams, except his beard. With his six-foot frame, his neatly trimmed gray beard, and his heavy black-rimmed spectacles, Williams was the very model of a modern major generalist. Due to the incident of the Gansevoort Street incinerator, he had learned to keep his mouth shut about his more outlandish ideas and obsessions.
The man Blake Williams loved was Niels Bohr, the physicist who has chosen the Taoist yin-yang as his Coat of Arms when knighted by the Danish court - which was rather far out back in the 1930s (before Taosim became faddish with physicists). Bohr also added nearly as much to quantum theory as Planck, Einstein, or Schrödinger, and his model of the atom - the Bohr model, it's called - had been believed literally by a generation of physicists before Hiroshima. Bohr himself, however, had never believed it; not had he believed any of his other theories. Bohr invented what is called the Copenhagen Interpretation, which holds in effect that a physicist shouldn't believe anything but his measurements in the laboratory. Everything else - the whole body of mathematics and theory relating one measurement to another - Bohr regarded as a model of how the human mind works, not of how the universe works. Blake loved Bohr for the Copenhagen Interpretation, which had made it possible for him to study physics seriously, even devoutly, without believing a word of it. That was convenient, since Williams' own training as an anthropologist had schooled him to study all human symbol systems without believing any of them.

I felt compelled to answer a few questions about myself, and look at what I came up with...

Heya Macguges, it was great being able to talk with you again.
I
didn't know that you used IRC
.
Its been going pretty good actually, been busy for me somewhat and it seems like whenever I do get the time to go on MT, I can never get anything accomplished. My deepest apologies for taking so long to get back to you.
=O Well I wish you the best of luck on your C programming class, though I'm sure since this is so old @_@ you don't need luck right now, but still
.
haha, I know what you mean. So many groups have spring up and just so many things are going on now. MT has gotten so much more populated since you were last here. Its really great to hear from you again and I hope that you've been doing well also.
Take
good care of yourself, macguges ^^.
hello ^^ thank you very much for your 3 favs on my works here on mt =) . wish a new nice week ! ^^
Hello hello! Just wanted to swing by to welcome you to the Order of Reason!
Hey man, Long time ne see!
How are you? Pretty busy as I read on your thread.
Just let me express my opinion about that wall ^^:
- The wall is name Space-Dream... dream/fairy... fairy/dream... uh.. sorry but my dreams are usely meaningless, just like my walls I wil say, hehehe
- a girl's face in the space is not very "usual" I guess...
- I know that stars are usely(must be) in the background... but why would that be like that in a dream???
- I wanted the girl's face to trouble the watcher's view, that way, he wouldn't see really cleary because of her beauty... well, that's what I felt when I saw a girl like her the day after I did this wall... strange like fate is sometimes
- At last but not least, I thought that these little dots looked like lights from the planet (and not stars somehow in front the planet)... just to see that there's life on the planet... I found the effect interesting (if you have a lot of (weird) imagination !!! Xp )
Please don't consider this as a complaint or something like that, I'm just explaining my point of view to a (old) friend
i hope I did'nt bother you too much with my post ^^
Happy to see you back in MT, cya around pal!
hey, no problem macguges!!
you're
stuff is great, keep it up!
that
was a lovely scan- i haven't seen that one before
...
BTW i've seen some of your forum posts, such as the one on age gaps with teens and young adults... totally agreed with you... you seem really decent and mature... i like that
anyhoo, see you around!
well, compliment aye? sure... let's say that... hehehe
:P why not... and man! What is there to be embarrassed about? Heh...
*scratches head* eh?
and yes, i'm fully recovered and i'm escaping from the fat nuns.....
and yes again, english is my second language, and still.... i've never used
words as bookbinding..... man! Archaic and obsolete books.... nah, that's not me
i read comics and game mags, hahaha.... but sure, i've red a few
good books yeah?
Thanks for the information!
hehe, well thank you very much for being very understanding *Bows*
Anyways, thus far from what I can tell mostly they are both increadably high detailed and that is probably the most well done patching I've ever seen anyone do. Only thing about Irrisponsible Captain Tylor and EVA 01 going berserk is the original quality. Obviously EVA shows ALOT higher detail and much smoother, but personally I really do love the job you've done with both of them. Honestly I've been taking quite close looks at them and the smoothness and texture improvements in EVA look amazing. As for scanning techinques.....sadly I am not very familar with any....unfortunally I have a horrible scanner and the old one I use to use, well lets just say if Tama-Neko gave you suggestions then she definately gave you more than what I could offer.
Otherwise I think both are VERY well done and I can't believe the work you've put into them both. But yes, the EVA one really shows the originality and I must say, you really do a great job with patching up scans. Most people do minor things or else minimal effort, Its so great to see someone that puts alot of work into patching them up ^^. Anyways I must say this for a definate fact, I LOVE THE EVA scan. Course since I am a Tylor fan that is also a favorite for me too. ^^.

Hi, thanks for the great comment and fav
bye
Gosh I must apologize, when I went to review your work for some reason I kept posting and yet I have yet to see my post go through on there.......Now that I don't understand. Plus with real life keeping me busy lately I haven't been on all that much either so thats been a hinder. So I must greatly apologize for my horrible delay on reviewing you work *bows* Please forgive me for my stupidity and my computers ability to not want to cooperate with MT, anyways just let me know which pieces of work you want me to review (Or if you want me to review them all) just let me know =). Sorry once again.
Hi.........again...
Um. ok, I know you are very good at computer, so I'll just assume you're good t photoshop
) So, am I doing something wrong? Or am I suppose to use a really small picture
to start with? :/
So, I'm trying to make avatars and banners. Everytime I made an avatar, I save it as a jpeg, and the quality is fine. Then, I switche the avatar into a GIF, and the quality is really really crappy, with lines going through it (well, not lines, but kind of like when the TV is fuzzy.....you know?
Thanks in advance!!!
