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

Bunny Logic

I got bored with standard Boolean searching and decided to go for something simple : Bunny Logic. Here's what I got http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Logic_Bunny It all makes sense to me now - the broken bottles all around, the multiplying but imaginary rabbits everywhere, the popping sounds. The universe is clearly full - very full - of imaginary rabbits coming into and out of being. This, for me, explains one of the unsolved mysteries of space. I know that theories of Dark Matter have been put forward, but what we have here is something far more compelling: Fluffy Matter. And that explains why the dark has a thick, fuzzy look, especially at closing time, when logic bunnies are popping otu of the bottles in a big way. Superb.

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.

Diet AND rabbit NOT pellets

The very, very, very strange thing about this result http://www.hopperhome.com/rabbit_food.htm is the use of Mr Potato Head bits and bobs for the pictures. It's a funny and frankly, a bit freaky too.

This is one of many semi-amatuer rabbit sites that offers links, a blog and various items of interest and information about rabbits as well as a whole big dollop of personal experience. It's a good exemplar, I think, of that halfway house the Net offers between professional knowledge and vernacular. If you warp the Laswellian Two-Step Flow model and apply it here, you have not just one opinion leader to understand, filter and disseminate media messages (in this case about bunnies) but a vast mesh of similarly informed opinion leaders.

There are two questions (at least) here. First, where is the info is coming from? While individual experiences obviously vary in many cases, it's perfectly possible to imagine that the same "official" information/knowledge circulates like an endless game of Chinese Whispers, passed on from one semi-official site to another and mixed with a liberal dash of on-the-ground experience. On the other hand, there are often contradictions. This sets up the next question then: how is one to decide which of the many sites to take as reliable? For academic purposes, it's fairly easy to decide what site to use, but when looking after animals (or for that matter mending the car) it's not. You want a bit of personal experience in there, certainly - one likes to think that the site has been put together by an experienced bunny keeper. But what about the situation where (as with this site) where one type of food is recommended but on another it's claimed to be dangerous? I call this the parsnip-lettuce problem.

Anyhow, it's a bit of a fun site with some nice pics, although a little thin on textual design . For this search I took Dave's advice and altered the order of things so that rabbit wasn't first. My next search will be Domesticated AND Rabbit
