Rabbit AND Boole

An image search using the above terms throws up a blast from the past in the form of Johnny Ball. I remember him being on the telly doing what was supposed to be fun children's science programmes back in the 70s and 80s. It was that TV era when making lots of noise, smells and bangs was what was supposed to make science interesting. It didn't interest me (although to be fair, I wasn't a child). The explanations weren't complete though - too much left unexplained. Also very patronising, I thought. If I'm going to be patronised, I'd rather it was Sooty and Sweep doing it. But it is a marker of the time that TV started to turn itself over to dumbing down education and to bigging-up personality-led programmes. Bring back How? is all I can say.

The Johnny Ball Productions website is an examplar of the marketing usefulness of the Net and some of the problems that come with assuming that just cos it's on the 'Net that'll do. This is a forum where Mr Ball can reach millions - but it's a really pants website. Dated font, poor layout, poor quality images. It doesn't look professional atall. Not the kind of impression I'd think Johnny wants to make. Bah humbug!

Bunny AND Boole

I like this random choosing of my search terms more - but surely, I hear you cry, that isn't the point of this? You are breaking the rules Alison! Well yes, but they are my rules, and (what is more) rules are most useful when used to guide rather than limit. Thus, today I went back to the start and used Bunny (as they are my interst here) AND Boole (as this is all about him - BTW check out BOOLFEST) and found myself going here FUKGAMES.com where there are gazillions of PC games to play. There are 128 games to do with bunnies apparently. In the interests of research I have forced myself to play one or two......

...the first is called BUNNYKILL and I am still waiting for it to load......and waiting......and waiting.....ooookayyy. This "game" seems to involve the 'player' watching a movie of bunny figures fighting each other using various different types of medieval-looking weapons. I don't actually get to do anything. Unless I've missed the point somewhere. I'm beginning to suspect I'm being an advertisers' dupe here. Hang on.....

...the second one loads faster and works but it's terrible. It's like trying to play a very slow, badly designed verion of one of the earliest sega-megadrive games. Pants. What's this site for? I think these sites are bit like blogs. They exist for the people they exist for and are a whole lot of self-indulgence with the hope that others out there will show an interest. Well sometimes they do and sometimes they don't and I guess, that's ok. But all the same you'd have to be really, really bored to willingly seek this out and spend time here. Poor old George would roll in his gravy at the though of his beautiful logic being used in such a piteous way. :)

Logic Bunny

I followed that last Boolean search with the first words form the last so - Logic AND Bunny. Why? Cos I can. I may have mentioned this before but this is as I see it where Logic - even BOOLEAN - is never without other impinging factors. I get easily bored with rules, even my own.

Anyhoo, this is a wierd and very likeable photography site Logic Bunny It's also perfectly in tune with the Boolean issues I have, as it explains: "An anti body-shape manipulation stance is taken at Logicbunny Photography. Slight imperfections will be removed (that pimple that Murphy’s Law said will appear the day prior to your shoot), but if you want your body reshaped - then move along, this is not the place for you. The end results are portraits of you looking the best that you look". In other words, though perfection is possible, it is not necessarily the result. My thinking is that BOOLEAN logic DOES offer perfection - a bit like The Diceman experience it takes away the need for a great deal of decision-making - but perfection isn't always desireable or necessary.

Re the inital photo though it doesn't really do the site justice and could be off-putting. It was only that I wanted to know why a nice young lady would be lying amongst a pile of small brains that I went further LOL

A rethink of Bunny Booleanism

I think it's time to rethink my strategy really. I've been to some interesting sites so far but I get the feeling I'm going to end up going round in circles booleanly. The trouble is that most of the rabbit sites inevitably use the same words (and I know that anyone out there could have told me so - but I wanted to try it out). Anyhoo, once again we come up against the wicked problem of Boolean digitality versus human analog-ity: the fact is that I can't - or won't - be happy with such rigidity as offered by the bunny limits, and I'm growing bored. And to solve the problem, bizarrely I'm going to make my strategy MORE rigid.

So...instead of using the bunny related words to direct my travels, I will now simply choose the first two or three words offered on the site after the page title and see where that takes me. I am sure I will travel with Boole well beyond the bounds of bunny worlds. See ya.
