Daily blog of George Orwell’s diary. Many of the entries seem to consist of one or two eggs. Did he eat them? Or was he just fixated on some mystical ritual involving one or two eggs per day?
Connections
I’ve been testing out the email-to-SMS/MMS methods I found on the net.
txts are like atoms of the information age. I can do practically anything I would want to do using a conventional net connection, so long as it can be converted to the text format.
This society was wired long before anyone ever realized it.
Testing out

The 2008 iGEM winner
