The Not-Pictures of the Day
The conspiracies are afoot, and I am not fleet enough. I'm in Chicago for the week and took a long perambulate around town this evening and shot some pictures. Since I can't seem to get a live FTP connection to the site, you'll just have to imagine them. And the night seems to have gotten away from me out here so I guess I should get to work on all that writing I was planning on doing and stop loafing about digesting dinner and watching Underworld.
Though, there was this great John Dee quote from my dinnertime reading that is too good not to remember:
"And for these and such like marvellous Acts and Feats, Naturally, Mathematically, and Mechanically wrought and contrived: ought any honest Student and Modest Christian Philosopher be counted & called a Conjurer?...Shall this man be condemned as a Companion of HellHounds, and a Caller, and Conjurer of wicked and damned Spirits?"
[From his "Mathematicall Praeface" to Euclid's Elements (1570)]
