Ada, Ohio (Dec 22 2003 14:58 GMT) - This could also be titled: THINGS CHANGE, BUT NOT MUCH. Piled everyone in the car and got all the way to Eau Claire before realising that we'd forgotten some of Mike's running gear AND Robin's sippy cup. Stopped there to get snacks and sippy cup. Roo was extremely good in the car; |

- Indeed, orange it is. But if the threat level rises while Ridge isn't running I don't get KNotify events when it starts up and sees the change (or maybe it just doesn't register changes between instances). Maybe it's alerting me about my royal family. |

- I grew up on John Varley's short fiction (careful readers of Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom will note several loving tributes to Varley's work), and still return to collections like The Barbie Murders, Blue Champagne and the magnificent The Persistence of Vision nearly every year, re-reading those stories and marvelling anew at how deft and clever Varley's hand is. ... I just noticed that Red Thunder, the second Varley tribute to Heinlein (the first was the Hugo-nominated Steel Beach, a mind-crogglingly wild, funny and clever tribute to The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress) has qualified for the preliminary Nebula ballot, which is proof that we live in a just universe indeed. ... Red Thunder is a tribute to Heinlein's juvie novels, particularily the classic boys-own-adventure tale Rocket Ship Galileo, about three plucky, ethincally diverse, multi-gender adolescent heroes who rescue the US space program. |

- Jerry, Kramer and Newman's accountant, seen in "The Sniffing Accountant". Jerry and Kramer suspect his sniffing is evidence of drug use, but eventually find out Barry is simply allergic to a sweater of Jerry's. Then in true Seinfeld fashion, Barry turns out to be a drug user in the end anyway and the trio lose all their money.... |

- I'm ashamed to be half-Scottish!: "Just last month, the Scottish Parliament banned traditional Christmas cards due to similar fears of offending other religions. Officials said 'Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year' could not appear on government cards, as the wording was not deemed to be 'socially inclusive.' " |

- There would seem to be rather a lot of films based upon Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol on TV in the coming week. Tonight on BBC1, there is the film comedy Scrooged, with Bill Murray playing a heartless TV executive. A couple of days later on Christmas Eve, on Channel 4 there is the British-cast film A Christmas Carol, starring Patrick Stewart and Richard E Grant. The same day over on five there is the 1970 musical adaptation called Scrooge. And the Carry On team also serve up their Dickens offering in the guise of Carry On Christmas on five on Boxing Day. |

- Pew Research Center: I think clearly the most significant number here is 59%. That's the percentage of Americans who feel the war in Iraq has helped, rather than hurt, the war on terrorism. Only 26% of the nation feels that it has hurt. And while 26% will be enough to nominate Howard Dean, it won't be enough to defeat George Bush. |

- On Saturday I visited the Einstein Exhibit at Chicago's Field Museum. Some manuscripts and letters and a nice exhibit explaining why time must vary if the speed of light remains a constant made this an interesting but not a must-see exhibit. The biggest surprise for me came from seeing how Einstein's fame happened overnight instead of the more gradual fame I would have expected. In 1919 a solar eclipse showed that light from stars do bend from gravitational forces. Einstein's fame grew immediately and his name became synonymous with genius. |
