Happy new year 31 Dec 2007 It is midnight on January 1 here in Australia. There’s a loud party next door (young folks, heh). So I hope you all have a good year and thanks for reading me in 2007. Administrative
Administrative Test post 8 Apr 2010 Nothing to see here. Move along. I’m testing some new features. Do not play Mornington Crescent in the comments. Read More
Administrative 106 books of pretension meme 26 Apr 2008 Like Lynch, here is “the top 106 books most often marked as “unread” by LibraryThing’s users.” So what I’ve read is in italics, what I never finished is struck through: Read More
Administrative The bloggy kindness of strangers 26 Apr 2011 Whoever you are, I have always depended on the kindness of strangers. [Blanche DuBois, in Streetcar Named Desire 1951] I am going to do something I very rarely do: boost a commercial product. In the running of this blog I incur a number of recurring costs (NB: see “Donate” button… Read More
Go bang on the neighbor’s door and tell them to quiet down! If you do it right and you’re lucky, they’ll invite you in! Happy New Year!

As a strict adherent of the natural astronomical calendar my New Year started on the 22nd of December so I’m way ahead of you but Happy New Year all the same and keep up the good blogging. Remember you have a hungry audience out there waiting to be educated, enlightened and entertained by your Evolving Thoughts!
Well a couple of hours to go till New Year arrives here. John, look forward to reading your musings in 2008. Have a happy year

So, if I understand you correctly, I am currently living in two years simultaneously, thanks to you and some kind of quantum weirdo unreality thing. My favorite movie line _is_ “I’m a quantum mechanic”. A hundred quatloos to anyone who knows what that’s from (no looking it up).
“I’m a quantum mechanic”. A hundred quatloos to anyone who knows what that’s from (no looking it up). At first I thought it was Heisenberg now I’m not certain. Was it maybe Schrödinger’s cat?
My favorite movie line _is_ “I’m a quantum mechanic”. GRIMY PERSON (looking under hood of ageing starship) “Sorry, guv’nor, but yer Singularity Drive is totally knackered. It’s leakin’ ‘Awking radiation all over the bleedin’ shop. I can’t be certain without strippin’ it down but yer ‘Eisenberg Compensator looks like it’s on its last legs. As for that Schrodinger Catalytic Converter, there’s no way of tellin’ if it’s still ‘olding superposed states without openin’ it up and yer lookin’ at a good ‘alf days work just for that. Other thing is they ‘aven’t made quanta of that size since they went metric so I’ll ‘ave to see what I can get from scrap. All in all, I’d say you’re lookin’ at a good five ‘undred quatloos for the whole job and that’s assumin’ I can get the parts.”
Virtual fake disappointed look, science fiction movie fans. “I’m a quantum mechanic” is from _Forbidden Planet_.
Yes indeed, happy new year to Wilkins and all his admirers (I am of course one myself). I look forward to many more fascinating posts from our favourite biological philosopher (philosophical biologist?) Goodbye 2007 – you did one good thing at least – you got rid of John Howard.
“As for that Schrodinger Catalytic Converter, there’s no way of tellin’ if it’s still ‘olding superposed states without openin’ it up and yer lookin’ at a good ‘alf days work just for that.” Open it up? Surely you jest! You open up one of those babies and look inside, and it collapses.
Happy (belated) new year, John. I’m a new reader in 2007, but I sure am enjoying the heck out of your blog. Looking forward to the coming year.
