Not A Blog™

More filler. Or not. Actually, no. No filler today. I didn’t have time to prepare an appropriate rant of Not A Blog™ian proportions. Ranting returns Monday-ish. I say “-ish” because I’m going to be quite busy next week as I was this week; my writing has become suitably disrupted.

The inside-joke, word-of-the-week is isomorphic. Originally I described it to half a dozen of my coworkers as the sort of perspective one has when viewing objects in three dimensions but without a vanishing point, like in the game Sim City 2000. I just found out after actually looking the word up in the dictionary that this not the case. That’s known as isometric perspective (or isometric projection in the case of an exploded engineering diagram). Isomorphic is a word that means, in mathematics, two sets with a one-to-one relational mapping among elements in its domain. (Very useful to know.) Or in biology, two things which share a similar structure or shape, but have different origins.

Oops.

I should probably tell them.
