Suddenly...New York City makes sense. Patricia Neilsen Hayden makes the analogy that living in a city is like an expert system. That is, there aren't necessarily the protections that exist elsewhere, and it's assume at all times that everyone knows what they're doing. I'd never thought about living in a large or large-ish city as that, but it helps explain that concept. Hmm...interesting. [Note to my wife: this doesn't mean that I'm all keen to live in New York. I would 1) have to get rid of 3/4 of my stuff, 2) there would be absolutely no way that I could ever build an airplane and 3) driving would not be fun any more.]
One more link, and then that's all for now. I can quit any time. :-) I read this at work last week, and it had me laughing so hard tears were running down my face. I've had some personal issues going on recently, and the emotional release of this page was actually very theraputic.
I've been putting off updating this until I got some stuff done, and some more DVDs burned, and more of the basement tidied up. That's coming along as soon as Godot the basement-cleaning elf, so this entry, which has been a draft for the last 5 days, is going out the door.
I came downstairs to spend some time with Ripley, and to get my front page updated. I'm doing the first, but while I type this, I can't do the second. So off I go.
