Disney’s 1994 Looper trailer.

Also, one of the top comments made me realize Bruce Willis has done 12 Monkeys, The Kid and Looper… where he all goes back in time and meets his younger self. My brain imploded.

pinoyscientists:

Meet Glenn R. Laigo:

1) What do you do? I am an Academics Manager for PHINMA Education Network. I help in policy making and implementation of network-wide programs. I received my PhD in Mathematics from Ateneo de Manila and taught college math at the same university before my current job. I could say I have tried the teaching and research side of the academe, and now I am in the administration side.

2) Where do you work? PHINMA Education Network, where we currently manage four schools across the country: Araullo University in Cabanatuan, Cagayan de Oro College, University of Pangasinan in Dagupan, and University of Iloilo.

3) Tell us about the photos? (Left:) Giving a talk at an academic conference for the 50th Anniversary of the Ateneo Mathematics Programs in 2011. (Right:) A side trip to Boracay on my way to my usual school trip in Iloilo.

4) Anything else you want to share? I used to do research on Hyperbolic Geometry and Color Symmetry Theory, and have published a few scientific papers on these fields. This is one of the fields where you really see connections between math and art, nature, or even sociology.

HI GLENN!

If you guys are interested, here are some of the papers he’s put out:

I sent this paper to JK Rowling explaining how the wizarding gene could be singular, autosomal, and dominant despite the protests of a bunch of fans who stopped learning genetics after Punnett squares.

The economic concepts of arbitrage and equilibrium as applied in Team Fortress 2 economy.

What I like is the fact that video games, inasmuch as they offer an “escape” from reality, are beginning to offer real-time simulations of real world phenomena (the Corrupted Blood incident from WoW comes to mind). The microcosm becomes a simulacrum of the macrocosm.

One day in 1903, a friend admired a beechwood chair Krubsack had crafted, complimenting him on his handicraft. A man who perhaps didn’t know how to take a compliment, Krubsack announced, “Dammit, one of these days I am going to grow a piece of furniture that will be better and stronger than any human hands can build.”

Star Wars, Scarface, Terminator 2, Kill Bill and A Clockwork Orange reimagined as 16th century Ottoman paintings by Murat Palta. Amazing how so much of the movie is condensed and evoked by the painting style. (via io9)
