Superpositioning

The centre has to hold. You can live according to stories, and shore up false dichotomies. But the amount of editing involved belies the honesty in it. That don't impress me much.

Let me tell you a story

Homebrew Fusion Reactor

This is the definition of terrible journalism. Tells you nothing. Blather surrounding a couple of statistics. What sort of power was involved, since you bring it up? No?

Just a link generator, and it worked. In fact, do not click that link, click this one and go to the fusion reactor maker's actual blog.

a gaze blank and pitiless as the sun

You can tell I'm not a big W. B. Yeats booster. But I do find him quite interesting.

In other news, my dog has a prolapsed nictitating membrane, which I have to admit is one of the best sentences I've written in ages. Common, it is claimed, but very rare in her breed. She looks ridiculous - one side she's a bright eyed border terrier and on the other a 15 year old bloodhound. She can be fixed, no doubt at great expense, but there's a twenty per cent chance of re(pro)lapse which would require the third eyelid to be removed entirely, giving her a lifetime of dry eye and eye drops. Also, it's quite likely that the other eye will go too.
