know your a•or•als

i always figured that amoral was amushroom (and that it was a synonym of immoral) so you can imagine my surprise when i learned that, properly used, it means “having no relation to ethics” (ie. neither moral nor immoral). i suppose that this means no more amoral omelets for yours truly. fiddlestix!

randolph from the internet suggested that i call this series becklex—after harry beck (the original designer of the london tube map) + lex (the greek word for word). the other posts in the becklex series can be found here.

know your c••cuses

i’d like to send a big cyber-five to my squash coach, allan who, while getting his hoopty tuned, was able to program me a computer program which—more or less—outputs reams and reams of words which have similar letters in similar places.

now alls i need to do is befriend somebody else who can program a computer program that will add the tube-style, technicolour lines and then i will be able to retire to the south of france and take up a hobby like metal detectoring beaches for tennis bracelets and rare bottlecaps.

pre·viously, also: i still don’t have a good name for this series. if you do, i’d love to hear from you. i mean, i’d love to hear from you anyway, though naming this series is a convenient excuse for discourse.
