The Chaos

Dearest creature in creation
Studying English pronunciation,
    I will teach you in my verse
    Sounds like corpse, corps, horse and worse.

I will keep you, Susy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy;
    Tear in eye, your dress you’ll tear;
    Queer, fair seer, hear my prayer.

Pray, console your loving poet,
Make my coat look new, dear, sew it!
    Just compare heart, hear and heard,
    Dies and diet, lord and word.

~ Gerard Nolst Trenité (1870-1946) from, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chaos

SAS, 5.25″ Floppy, Lasers and Sh*t

IMG_0923Once upon a time…

Hey, so we have this really dry book about SAS. We need something punchy for the cover art… I know! We’ll put some uber-tech on the front… like a 5.25″ floppy! Those are cutting edge, we’ll be using them forever.

Yeah, but can we have, like sharks, with frickin’ laser beams on their heads or something… ?

We can’t get sharks…

Ok, just make like a frickin’ laser coming out of the floppy…. zowee! These will fly off the shelves!

Wait. What?

25 year old tech on the cover; I think I can get rid of this book now.
