A man caught trying to have sex with his bicycle has been sentenced
I would bet serious money (or at least a drink) on this guy having ridden (not like that) for far too long on bicycles in the course of his life so that he did wind up switching far too many molecules with his bicycle… enough to draw him to the… fairer… ehm, not quite sex, but, well, drawing him, sexually, to bicycles. I bet if you dug you’d find that this wasn’t his normal bike at all, but one that his regular bike fancied or something.
Look it up, you’ll see what I mean:
“The Third Policeman” (Flann O’Brien)
Random stuff while the baby sleeps
Jon, the internet is just the Tale of a Tub (
“A Tale of a Tub and Other Works (Oxford World’s Classics)” (Jonathan Swift)), not like tubs.
Ah, autumn in New England.
And a quick note to say thanks a million to all the people who’ve been coming out to the Further Fenway Fiction readings… they invariably kick me off on a real high for the next couple days… Thanks again.
Why it’s taking me forever to finish consuming “Gravity’s Rainbow (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)”
by Thomas Pynchon
Back on Gravity’s Rainbow in the lead up to our next child being born, as I expect I won’t have the a) energy or b) time to read for a few months after the little tyke shows up, cap in hand, at our doorstep, or down our chimney. Whichever.
At any rate, still a great read, it’s no wonder Pynchon appreciated the guest appearances on the Simpsons enough to appear a few times, himself, Imipolex G makes a few guest semi-hidden appearances throughout Slothrop’s time in bombed out Berlin…

Why do I say we are unhappy?
…
• Our scientific conferences are filled with papers that focus on incremental improvements observed when asking unskilled laborers (whom we call “novices”) to perform office chores. We call this “usability”.
• Scholars interested in arts and humanities computing are strangely obsessed with box office and weirdly uninterested in making software, or making meaning.

I’m looking forward to more…
Updates a-go-go
While we’re all waiting around for the next baby to be born…
Q.I. Software‘s been busy, updating both useful services (ContactCreator and CalendarCreator) to Universal Binary, so they’ll run happily on your shiny Intel Macs to your crusty old PPC Macs.
And Writer.app 1.2.5 is out with a little bug fix for those recent items you’d been working on not opening. Opening it up to play with it and test yesterday reminded me what a great environment it is to write in… just the basics, ma’am… no distractions, just type. Make a mistake, just keep typing. It’s a great feeling. I think the next few Sane issues’ll be written back in Writer.app.
