Celestia's Turkey Revisited

[rain_gryphon]

Celestia's Turkey is looking a bit the worse for wear. It looks sort of like a Turkey ghost, leaking ghostly stuffing. I may look for a ceramic or wrought iron one at the Stoat Fair. I never did find out what it's doing there, but it catches my imagination. I like to pretend that she died tragically, defending the town from some Turkey-based threat.

I had dinner at Rally's, on a whim. I didn't know what I wanted, and was going to the store to see what looked appealing, when I passed Rally's, home of cheap, sloppy chili dogs with sweet onions :) I think it's been at least a year since I ate there. There's something about fast food on a summer evening.

My copy of "A Marriage of Insects" arrived today. I've not yet had time to read it, but it looks *so* promising.

Who would have suspected that the cutting edge in computing would someday be
tiny Babbage engines?

The
Blazing Hay Wagon of Doom! It's probably not as funny when it's your hay wagon, but still...

The Yoruba king prophecies the doom of his palace!

The Cubs are raining doom upon the Cardinals. It's like every time they're at two outs, they score.

Neil Stephenson's 'The Diamond Age' had nanomachine babbage engines as the computers of the future.

It was kind of funny -- in the book the wires attached to them pumped in not just electricity by micronized ice cubes to cool them down, so the computer would literally be steaming as it worked...

For the big machines anyway, the little portable ones were all efficient and stuff.
