Wrote quite a fair bit about Grant Green (see here). Now’s the chance for all of you who are curious to check out his music.

The second video is for Strat-O-Blogster, who prompted me to look for videos of Atkins and Knopfler playing.

Been working on Tomo Fujita’s “Accelerate Your Guitar Playing” VCD. Was stumped by one of the R&B rhythm exercises cos I didn’t know how to count quarter note triplets, i.e. in 4/4 time signature, how do I count out two triplets, each triplet lasting for two beats. Asked a colleague who had a Grade 6 certification in piano but didn’t get much of a useful answer. She said it was quite advanced stuff.

Anyway, to cut it all short, now I know how to count quarter note triplets after a online search led me to this article (See figure 2). In fact, I found the article so useful I’m thinking of going through the whole series: Guitar 101: Mastering Rhythm & Syncopation

If I can’t read music, perhaps I can start by learning to count.

Got stumped again by another Smullyan puzzle in the same chapter of the book I mentioned earlier in this post. The said post contains the background necessary to solve this puzzle.

1. Given any two inhabitants, A and B, either A trusts B or he doesn’t.

2. Some of the inhabitants are teachers of other inhabitants. Each inhabitant has at least one teacher.

3. No inhabitant A is willing to be a teacher of an inhabitant B unless A believes that B trusts himself.

4. For any inhabitant A there is an inhabitant B who trusts all and only those inhabitants who have at least one teacher who is trusted by A. (In other words, for any inhabitant X, B trusts X if A trusts some teacher of X, and B doesn’t trust X unless A trusts some teacher of X.)

5. There is one inhabitant who trusts all the patients but does not trust any of the doctors.

Inspector Craid thought this over for a long time and was finally able to prove that either one of the patients was sane or one of the doctors was insane. Can you find the proof?

I finally uploaded the pictures of muser’s birthday. Scroll down this post to see the album.

While I’m posting pictures, here’s another one I took with Chloe. Check out my wrong sitting position, compared to Chloe, who was sitting in the right manner. No wonder I was more nervous than her.
