In the time and the place I am

[sovay]

To my great and exhausted displeasure, the cold has now moved into the stage where it is impossible to organize or think or sleep, meaning that all plans I had for today are no go. TCM is showing No Highway in the Sky (1951) at eight o'clock, so I suspect I will lie on the couch and stare vaguely at James Stewart. I have no idea what I'm going to do until then.

Have a photograph of me blowing a conch shell for New Year's. I came inside after my mother mildly suggested the neighbors were going to assassinate us.

Here are a series of short Youtube videos for you to watch while you wait for Jimmy Stewart. They come to me courtesy of desert_sparrow, who finds--and knows about--wonderful things. The first is a working replica of the Antikythera device, made of legos. And then the next two are two videos from Nature magazine, talking about the device.

That is indeed awesome.

Thank you!
