For those of you wondering what Pons Asinorum means, the exact translation is "Bridge of Asses". The phrase comes from Euclid's fifth proposition from book one of elements. The proposition states that the two angles of an isosceles triangle are equal. Euclid meant the phrase as the first test of intelligence and a bridge to the harder problems that follow.
The reason I choose this name is two fold. On the one hand, this blog will be used as a dumping ground of half baked ideas and half baked knowledge. This blog is a means to explore the ideas and knowledge in further detail to perhaps derive something more interesting and useful. So, the first part of the bridge is my own test of intelligence. The second part, is the bridge to something else that hopefully the ideas and knowledge combined will produce.
