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’.

Radio Paradise HD

My favorite inter­net radio sta­tion has it own chan­nel on the Roku box. It is called Radio Par­adise HD and it streams the same music as the radio stream, but with the addi­tion of pho­tos that com­pli­ment the title, artist or lyrics. Noth­ing really new here, but if you want you can click on the full size and down­load a 1920 x 1080 ver­sion to use as wallpaper.

Phototime Tuesday

My 20 favorite pho­tos sub­mit­ted to the weekly photo meme Pho­to­time Tues­day. The title of each pho­to­graph was the theme you were sup­posed to rep­re­sent, with some I did bet­ter than oth­ers. Pre­sented in chrono­log­i­cal order.

Tuesday Challenge

After Pho­to­time Tues­day ceased oper­a­tions I found another Tues­day meme as a replace­ment, but then they do stopped play­ing. I guess Tues­day is a bad day for photography.

Lensday Wednesday

See­ing as I had just started doing this meme when I gave up par­tic­i­pat­ing in all of the photo memes I only had 17 pic­tures to choose from. I nar­rowed it down to 7 I really liked, but I hated to have a gallery with an odd num­ber of pho­tos in it, so I added back 3 of the hon­or­able men­tions to fill it out.

Theme Thursday

What I think were the 20 best of my over 100 pho­tos sub­mit­ted to the weekly photo meme Theme Thurs­day, that I par­tic­i­pated in nearly every week from June 2003 until August 2005. The title of each pho­to­graph was the theme you were sup­posed to rep­re­sent, with some I did bet­ter than oth­ers. Pre­sented in chrono­log­i­cal order.

Photo Friday

What I think were the 20 best of my over two and a half year’s worth pho­tos sub­mit­ted to the weekly photo meme Photo Fri­day. The title of each pho­to­graph was the theme you were sup­posed to rep­re­sent, with some I did bet­ter than oth­ers. Pre­sented in chrono­log­i­cal order.
