After working all day and teaching class this evening, I’m spent. So for tonight, just a few links to keep you occupied:

Nothing new under the sun.

Plan B: Algae!

The birds and the bees.

— Last but not least, news you can use: How to to deal with those annoying roadblock ambushes.

  1. Thank you for that link to the Matrix video. Even after all these years, people keep on finding hidden and not-so-hidden references; it’s amazing. Personally, I think the Wachowski Brothers have nothing to apologize for; they had deliberately set out to make a multidimensional pastiche, and they succeeded brilliantly with the first two movies in the trilogy. The trilogy as a whole fails as serious science fiction (humans as batteries? really?), but works as an example of the power of modern mythmaking.

    Well since you’re tired I had to do my own research. Somebody asked where the term “rose colored glasses came from and how does that apply to me [her]?”
