Schrödinger’s Quantum Twin

Yes he looks just like Schrödinger.

Yes this is exactly how Schrödinger would act.

No it’s not actually Schrödinger, but amusing just the same.

No, that doesn’t mean this was Snicklefritz, he wouldn’t have been fazed by the snow, would likely have tried to eat it and if anything gone straight up the fence.

So Apple is why AT&T is the only wireless carrier who can’t be bothered to provide at least some service with in 20 minutes of me?  A place so backwater that… oh .. wait, even my Kindle gets 3G here where AT&T has no signal? Ah, k, definitely because of the iPhone.  Thanks.

I Blame the Circles

Yesterday while listing a book, having read it twice before, I thought back fondly and decided to throw it in again for a new read.  The book is Prostho Plus by Piers Anthony, a rather odd sci fi romp about a dentist from earth getting caught up in the hitherto unknown world(s) of galactic dentistry.  How that thought ever lasted long enough to end up a published book is a different matter entirely, regardless it’s a lovely candy read.  I remembered the premise, I recalled the major scenes, what I didn’t recolect in specifics brought the comfortable joy of rediscovery.

That is, until I got halfway through the book.

Remember I’d read this twice before, and it’s one of my favored books from one of my favorite authors.  Before I picked it up this time I could have related to you a general sketch of the book, most the major developments and a fair approximation of the satisfying conclusion.  Had you gone and read the book you would have been mistified as I.  For, there’s an entire second part to the book that I had no recolection of even existing much less in the details within.  Flat out, it turned into a new read.

Weird.
