memes, dreams and themes

Cameo pointed me at this dada album cover meme today:
  1. The first article title on the Wikipedia Random Articles page is the name of your band.

  2. The last four words of the very last quotation on the Random Quotations page is the title of your album.

  3. The third picture in Flickr's Interesting Photos From The Last 7 Days will be your album cover.

  4. Use your graphics programme of choice to throw them together, and post the result.

I got the following via this flickr image (which I hope counts as fair use - Suw uses CC images instead)

I just found out via Twitter that my colleague from (mumble mumble) years ago, Nikki Barton, has a blog; she's wise - read her.

Rosie asked me "Was there a Solar eclipse in Yorkshire in 1967?" - the answer was No, but I found this great NASA site, which reminded me of my Astronomy tutor at Cambridge from 1987, who at the time had booked a hotel in Cornwall for the 1999 total eclipse (I hope the clouds lifted for him). I'm re-reading Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle at the moment, so I am tickled that I can look up an astronomical ephemeris this easily.

Finally, the Edge question this year is What have you changed your mind about? - a lot of food for thought there.
