dances

[tgies]

Here are some engineering-related dances

I have a pretty clear mental image of what every one of these looks like

• The 3:2 pulldown
• The accumulator shift
• The time-memory tradeoff
• The inverse telecine
• The dot crawl
• The bitblt
• The chroma sweep
• The post increment
• The quicksort

Other good non-engineering dances:

• The civil rights movement
• The gang initiation
• The filibuster
• The get down from there
• The Invisible Larry (you leave the room before the music starts)
• The Tricky Russian
• The identity crisis
• The prosecutorial discretion
• The Coriolis effect
• The Łukasz
• The anime
• The simulated cat
• The improved simulated cat
• The Internet detective

Please submit your own dances

The get down from there

Favorite.

I can't think of any dances that are comparable to yours. Beewoop.

the IVTC is hard to do if the music ain't right

I think I already know how to do the 3:2 pulldown...
it's pretty automatic if you have the right beat

[999kcelfe.livejournal.com]

seriously, there's been many times when I wanted
to do the IVTC, but couldn't figure out the beat... :P

btw... I got chased across Nebraska last week
by tornados on Thursday... I heard sirens going
off when I was in Grand Island, and got the
hell out of there and drove as fast as my
old VW Bus would let me until I got far
enough ahead of it... drove through Omaha
at about 9PM that night... the storm finally
caught up with me later that night while I was
parked at a truck stop in Iowa... and I had
to lay in my bus with a big thunderstorm
going off outside

What about the dielectric breakdown?

I mean that one's pretty hardcore.

You just might get your wish as soon as my new dance shoes show up

i outgrew my old ones

do you know how hard it is to get dance shoes in size 15? It is pretty hard

[tgies.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, with the trembling legs and the collapsing? I love that one

[tgies.livejournal.com]

all of those are KID TESTED and MOTHER APPROVED

the pumping lemma is def. too hot for network television though

[catamorphism.livejournal.com]

If that is, then red-black tree insertion is too hot too.

your "invisible larry" made me think of something like...

the senator craig tap method

[sasuke73.livejournal.com]

The Osmosis Hop

[anti-esque.livejournal.com]

the tesla coil
the debriefer
the 2-step q-bit
the rusty victrola
