Meme!

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next seven sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

It's hard to tell which was closer, so I'll do them both.

"If we select the path [x=0, 0<=y<=1] and [0<=x<=1, y=1], then Eq. (1.95c) gives W = -1. For this force the work done depends on the choice of path.

"Surface integrals appear in the same forms as line integrals, the element of area also being a vector, d(sigma). Often this area element is written nd A, in which n is a unit (normal) vector to indicate the positive direction. There are two conventions for choosing the positive direction. First, if the surface is a closed surface, we agree to take the outward normal as positive. Second, if the surface is an open surface, the positive normal depends on the direction in which the perimeter of the open surface is traversed."

And here's the second one:
""

Page 56 has no text.

However, if I go from page 56 on, I get:
"Finished bust: 35[38, 42]" (89[96 1/2, 107 cm)
Back length 29[29 1/2, 30)" (73.5 [75, 77.5] cm)
Note: Dress is very close fitting; however, the fabric is stretchy.

Wiimote hacks

These are damn cool. I love the cameraman jumping up and down near the end.

And now I want my own virtual whiteboard.
