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’.

Can I Worry Yet?

The FRS dropped 2 of 3 over the week­end to the MFY and their lead in the East was then down to just 4–1/2 games. But I was not wor­ried, for the Yan­kees to tie us at the end of the sea­son they would have to fin­ish 11–2 if the Red Sox just won half of their remain­ing 12 games.

Tonight the Sox lost to the Blue Jays 7 to 1 and right now the Yan­kees are beat­ing the Ori­oles 7 to 2. Looks like after tonight the divi­sion lead will be down to just 3–1/2 games, small­est since some­time in May. I’m now wor­ried. Not only that I think I might have jinxed them because I opened my mouth say­ing how improb­a­ble it would be for them to lose the divi­sion. Is it 1978 all over again?

Since I revamped the Post Office Gallery, I decided to exper­i­ment with a cou­ple of related pieces of soft­ware for some other galleries.

Pho­to­time Tues­day is now run­ning some­thing called Post­card Viewer, a free Flash image viewer. The inter­face is based on the real world metaphor of a set of post­cards shuf­fled onto a sur­face. And the Gnorth­west Gnorm gallery is using AutoViewer. It is designed to dis­play a lin­ear sequence of images and cap­tions and has a slide show feature.
