*[[Network neutrality]]
*[[Noble lie]] - putting the lie in elite for more than two millenia!
*[[Timeline of historic inventions]]
*[[WP:LEAD]] - defined definitions as important
*[[WP:Wikipedia is not a dictionary]] - reformatting and clarifying mainly
*[[User:Wolfkeeper/Wikipedia is|WP:Wikipedia is]] - minor reformatting

Hobbies include getting vandals banned.

==Deep magic==
[[deep magic|(eclectic stuff I like)]]
*[[Mnemonic]] - how to remember enormous amounts of stuff without writing it down!
*[[Halbach array]] - it's an asymmetric field, far stronger on one side, but the magnet layout looks surprisingly symmetric!
*[[Halbach cylinder]] - it's a halbach array that's made of permanent magnets that's off-and-onable!
*[[Hofstadter's law]] - it takes longer than you expect to understand it
*[[Nomic]] - what the wikipedia is not ''supposed'' to be
*[[Okinawa diet]] - they don't eat much, but they live long
*[[Fermat's theorem]]/[[Lagrangian]] - The magic that runs [[quantum electrodynamics|quantum mechanics]]; but my mind is in a superposition state about the [[Many worlds theory]]
*[[Special relativity]] - time and space are interchangeable???? You bet.
*[[Constructal theory]] - perfectly imperfect
*[[Kudos]] to whoever came up with this concept
*[[Peripeteia]] - the moment when everything changes
*[[Anagnorisis]] - the moment of self discovery
*[[Hash tables]] - you put things in random places so you can find them quickly???
*[[Tether propulsion]] - no fuel required! How does that work?
*[[Space Elevator]] - the ultimate [[Indian rope trick]] and the [[Lofstrom loop]], [[orbital ring]]s
*[[Birthday paradox]] - two people usually have the same birthday!
*[[Reaction Engines Skylon]] - it flies all the way around the world ... multiple times on one fill-up (if anyone ever builds it) - also [[A2 (aircraft)]] goes half way around non stop
*[[Evolution]] - the modification of genomic population over time, and it's useful if you want to apply [[phage therapy]]!
*[[Big Rip|The big rip]] - [[The end of the world|ITEOTWAWKI]]
*[[Nash equilibrium]] - the theory you get when a paranoid schizophrenic tries to figure out the world... and it applies to business quite well (gack)
*[[SOFAR channel]] - So far and yet so loud! And some people think that [[Roswell incident|aliens landed]] [[Project Mogul|because of it]]!
*[[Teapotahedron]] - the shape of a [[chocolate teapot]]
*[[Page rank]]- practical [[Epistemology]] applied to the web to avoid [[infinite regress]]
*[[Faraday paradox]]
*[[Rattleback]] it goes around, stops goes back the other way, sometimes several times...
*[[xkcd]] - "We did not invent the algorithm. The algorithm consistently finds Jesus. The algorithm killed Jeeves. The algorithm is banned in China. The algorithm is from Jersey. The algorithm constantly finds Jesus. This is not the algorithm. This is close."
*[[The Mother of All Demos]]
*[[Julius Sumner Miller]]
*[[Understand (story)]]
*[[Brunnian link]]
*[[Litz wire]] is cute and has a relative [[magnetic permeability]] well below 1!
*[[Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation]]
*[[Auxetics]] you squidge it, and it shrinks sideways
*[[Metamaterial]]s can have a negative [[refractive index]] but personally, [[invisibility|I can't see it]]
*[[My Uncle Napoleon]] contains the whole of Iranian politics. [[Noble lie|No, really]].
*[[Mark Thomas]]
*[[happy face crater]] Smile, you're on interplanetary photographs!
*[[Metastability in electronics]] not everything is black and white, even in digital electronics
*[[Terra preta]] sometimes if soil is black, the soil reproduces!
*[[g-force]] it's an acceleration, not a force, which is why it's called that. [[misnomer|Oh! Wait!]]
*[[resonant energy transfer]] involves a high [[Q factor]] which is used in [[Tesla coil]]s was invented by [[Nikola Tesla]], the original "[[mad scientist]]"
*[[Domed city]]
*[[Tensegrity]]
*[[Jevons paradox]] when a resource usage is more efficient you run out of it more quickly
*[[Robert L. Forward]]
*[[Laurel and Hardy|Well, that's another]] [[Anthropogenic global warming|fine mess]] we've [[carbon sequestration|gotten]] into [[olivine]]

==Deep black magic==
[[File:Concussion mechanics.svg|thumb|right|75px|'''Ouch!!''']]
(Things I really, really don't like)
*[[Deep packet inspection]] ([[traffic shaping]] is a much better idea because it doesn't break network neutrality)
*[[Lobbying]] America has some of the best politicians money can buy!
*[[UK Threat Levels]] of attacks on the wikipedia is '''NORMAL'''.

<math>\int T ds = B_0 R_e D_o M</math>

{{The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar|I've observed your efforts in upholding the [[Network Neutrality]] article. Even if there was no reason to doubt your opposing number's motives, it's clear from his condescension, his insults and his steadfast refusal of views other than his own that he has no interest in cooperating, and accordingly that your work has been valuable. That you've been at it for nine months astounds me. Want one of these? --[[User:Kizor|Kizor]] 15:33, 26 March 2007 (UTC)}}
