A while back, I mentioned one of the exhibits I remembered from a childhood visit to the Los Angeles Museum of Science and Industry (now the California Science Center) in the 1980s: …a multi-screen cartoon about energy sources and engine types called “The…

Striking the Crowd

Today I found myself thinking of Terminator 3, specifically the plotline in which all kinds of random computer crashes are spreading across the internet. For obvious reasons. In today’s real world incident, it’s a bug in an auto-pushed update for…

The Word for World is Forest

https://hyperborea.org/reviews/books/world-forest/

Published: July 16, 2024 05:24

★★★★☆ - Ursula K. Le Guin: Infuriating to read...and that's the point. A story of colonial exploitation, asymmetric warfare, dehumanization and environmental destruction.

Published: July 16, 2024 03:18

★★★★★ - Peter S. Beagle: Whimsical and melancholy tale of the last unicorn's quest to find others of her kind. Well drawn characters and story, very much a classic.

I recently found myself in Culver City and spotted a familiar-looking wall. Not because I’d been there often, but because I remember seeing it from the passenger seat of a co-worker’s car over a decade ago as we drove past on the way to…lunch? A bakery? I…

Not Quite Wrong, Not Quite Right

https://hyperborea.org/journal/2024/06/map-metaphor/

Published: June 15, 2024 16:12

“Here’s a metaphor to help you get a sense for how this complicated thing functions.” “But it’s not really doing that!” “That’s why it’s a metaphor, not a description.” … “Here’s an explanation in layman’s terms.” “No, that’s wrong, that term only means…

Elemental States of Matter

https://hyperborea.org/journal/2024/06/elemental-states-of-matter/

Published: June 5, 2024 19:05

It’s interesting how well earth, water, air and fire map to solid, liquid, gas and plasma. People recognized the four states of matter, but for ages they interpreted them as ingredients instead of structure. The post Elemental States of Matter appeared…
