Sturgeon’s Law

Ninety per­cent of every­thing is crap.


Derived from a quote by sci­ence fic­tion author Theodore Stur­geon, who once said, “Sure, 90% of sci­ence fic­tion is crud. That’s because 90% of every­thing is crud.” Oddly, when Sturgeon’s Law is cited, the final word is almost invari­ably changed to ‘crap’.

Still oper­at­ing on post-gap euphoria.

Noth­ing both­ered me at all today. Even when my boss decided that I should go ahead and spend the day recre­at­ing a chart for an opti­cal com­para­tor instead of spend­ing $100 and buy a new one. Doesn’t he remem­ber what my hourly rate is? The one I make will look exactly like the pur­chased one, but will last nowhere near as long. Mine will be printed on a lower qual­ity film on our inkjet plot­ter as opposed to the mylar with water­proof ink and pro­tec­tive film of the pro­fes­sion­ally pro­duced one.
