"What is a tree but a tower that withers and dies? What is a pond but a cistern that stagnates and fills with muck? What is a patch of ground but a road which cracks and washes away?"

October 10, 2007

I added some more Essays, and I have a bunch more I'll add later (I want to reread them before I do). There's tons of stuff to do at my work, and therefore I'm working way more than I should, and this cuts into my free time. (A neat thing about language is that excuses can be cast as explanations, and these sorts of casts occasionally turn out to be true.)

However, Portal was just released, and I managed to play it. It blew me away. In recognition of this I've changed the description of my link to Narbacular Drop to recommend Portal.

"Now these points of data
make a beautiful line.
And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD. I got burned.
Think of all the things we learned
for the people who are
still alive.

Look at me still talking
when there's Science to do.
When I look out there,
it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
I've experiments to run.
There is research to be done.
On the people who are
still alive."
