First of all, thanks to
mellacita! I ♥ my snowflake! I can't believe I got one! Thank you so much! It really made me smile.
*Sometimes, you need
a little xmas giddyness via
rm. Oh, Ten. This link is kind of a smiffle(smile+sniffle=smiffle, right?)

Distant Reading -- the chatter of a century, distilled from novels digitised, and thus made searchable. I think it's really cool.
*I was re-reading a
trashy romance novel about Silicon Valley & the rise of the personal computer and was reminded of the famous "Welcome, IBM" ad taken out by Apple when IBM released its first pc. We're living in amazing times, my friends, so amazing that I think we sometimes forget it. It's hot, really, the breathtaking arrogance and marketing genius implicit.
Still works after all this time too, at least on me. I'm suddenly feeling a spot of yearning for a mac.
*Is it possible that
this, erm, "force trainer" really works? Probably not, right?
