Fluff piece
(I found this while minimizing my possession a little more. From earlier this summer on the way to Finland. Pretty plane poem.) There it is! A clear pool of air, beneath which I can see floaters all the way down. There! Lambent cauliflower Twisted wool on the lam from the land Wisps wistfully suspended from the sea full of themselves sitting atop invisible shelves Oh! There it is! unspun floss filling in the lowest points lazily forming watercolour paintings

Not That Anybody Else Was Looking
I was going to to revise and republish a few posts from my old blog, but it seems that I have unwittingly delted them permently. The moral is either 1) read your user agreement carefully, or 2) it’s better having your trash hauled away than cluttering your blog. Either one suits me fine. I had better just find another means of procrastination.

Influential though these systems were, they didn’t cause a programming revolution. I think one reason is simply that that they predated the internet. A live environment where you can connect computations together interactively is less interesting if the “universe” is a single process running on your local machine. If the universe is the global network with potentially billions of interacting agents, it’s a different story. Perhaps it’s an idea whose time has come.

While writings about changing the major paradigm of programming always catch my eye for a minute, they never make much of an impact. It isn't that I don't believe such a shift could be possible, or that I don't think it would be fantastic. I just don't think there will be a revolution. We'll evolve our techniques, as we have over the past decades, and one day my son (or grandson) will be reading a history book and realize "That's what they were talking about? I do that every day." And most of us may not have even noticed it.
This quote really struck me. It won't be a revolution, I still don't think that. But, I do think we know what has enabled the evolution.
