I've been watching my friends play FFXI quite a bit recently, which got me thinking....with the complete free trade in the economy, there is quite a bit of money to be made by arbitrage. This of course got me thinking about all sorts of economics-type things. None of which I can currently remember. Anyways, the economy presents all sorts of opportunities for financial gain in game. All it takes is patience, research, and the courage to see what needs to be done. It really is a lot like playing the stock market and supply and demand at the same time. You watch the market for trends in prices, see when prices are high, and when they are low, and when the demand is high and when the demand is low. Then you follow the classic principle of buy low, sell high. pretty quickly, you can be rolling in it.
I was also discussing with a friend of mine the possible of certain infinities being larger than other infinities. It was quite an interesting mathematically theoretical discussion, but also involved quite a bit of suppositions. It was really just something to kill time, so I won't repeat all that much of it here. On the nature of discussions, I am reminded of one of my "logical" inferences. It began with the comment by one of my friends that she only eats donuts on sundays every other week that she runs. I responded that I eat donuts every sunday anyway. Furthermore, I would (and do) eat donuts sunday morning regardless of whether I run. Therefore, since I'm eating donuts anyway, there is no point in running in the morning. This means that I get to sleep in more, so I can go to bed later. Now if I'm going to bed later, I can be playing more videogames. This just goes to illustrate how eating donuts sunday morning helps you play more videogames the previous saturday night.
Also, SNOW!! yes, that's right, we had snow here at OU. something that almost never happens. we actually had snowball fights, and built snowmen on campus. (I didn't partake very much in either, sadly)
well, that's it for now, but I *should* be back soon.
Later all
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
