(2004 continues!)

Kilts have made an occasional appearance in science fiction. One of Robert A. Heinlein's most famous characters, Lazarus Long, wore a kilt.

I wonder if this would be practical? Would it replace my Scott eVest? more...

During high school (about the time I discovered the female of the species, read much more "adult" science fiction and realized that there were Geeks Like Me out there), I had a brief dream of becoming an architect. Primarily through a book called Urban Structures of the Future, by Justin Dahinden, I became interested in the work of Paolo Soleri and his arcologies. Amazingly, Soleri is still at it. Sadly, he seems no closer to finishing his dream.

Mailied (Literally, Maysong)

Wie herrlich leuchtet
Mir die Natur!
Wie glänzt die Sonne!
Wie lacht die Flur!

Es dringen Blüten
Aus jedem Zweig
Und tausend Stimmen
Aus dem Gesträuch

Und Freud' und Wonne
Aus jeder Brust.
O Erd', o Sonne!
O Glück, o Lust!

I am listening to a piece called Les Preludes (Symphonic Poem) by Franz Liszt.

Quick! What's the connection with science fiction?
