Loose connections

A dear and lose personal friend emailed yesterday to ask if something was technically wrong here at Dakota, since he had not been able to make contact for two days. Technically, the only thing that's wrong, (other than the mess you-know-who has made in this world), is that all of us here at Dakota are sluggish from the globally warmed, 70 degree air, got lazy and failed to post.

Since only one email was received on the subject, it's a pretty good possibility that Dakota only has one regular reader. We used to worry about that sort of thing, but now we consider the world wide web to be the edge of creation, and think that anything anyone contributes to that creation, using whatever unique gifts they have, is really important.

You might have missed the picture yesterday, over the quotation by John Gage, the Director of Science at Sun Microsystems."The Internet is not a thing, a place, a single technology, or a mode of governance. It is an agreement. " By the way, everyone at Sun is encouraged to have a blog, within limits, of course.

A loose connection. The folks at Improbable Research who award the yearly IgNobel Prize, did a hilarious experiment to test the limits of the post office. The Post Office should be a model for all of us.

Do we seem incoherent and disorganized this morning? Apologies. We just wanted you to know we're connected however feebly

Photo note: When shooting ubiquitous exposed hanging wires for wiretapping diatribes, this shot popped up, loaded with sacred geometry.
