Sally T. Intern rang the WLBOTT hot-line at 4:30 am (not as bad as it seems – we sprung forward this morning). She had a bagel connection. We fired up the corporate limousine (no helipad was available at the bagel distributer), engaged the Google GPS, and within minutes Sally had obtained a plethora of bagels, […]

Interface, by Stephenson/George was available! I downloaded it onto my Kindle, then a weird thing happened. It didn’t show up. From past experience I knew […]
We received a call this morning from Jeff Bezos. He told us to knock it off – we either take an editorial position that excludes politics, or he is firing all of us. Swing the pendulum the other direction. This was odd, because we don’t work for him. But when the BEEZ says PLEEZ, you’d […]

Heinlein makes a distinction between Mike and digital computers, who simply follow rigid rules of logic. Perhaps Heinlein was envisioning today’s quantum […]

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

I grew up on military bases, where my male adult role models were commie-hating, belt-cracking, Camel smoking, hemorrhoidal suffering John Birchers who wanted to keep the world safe from democracy. Then word got around amongst the 8th grade boys […]
We are so excited about the concept of langar – community, equality, feeding all, and the wild LARGE QUANTITIES of everything involved. We also like the subversive nature of an American langar – “good trouble” as John Lewis would say. In some areas of the US, it is a crime not only to be homeless, […]
Elder UC#1 has brought to our attention a potentially sensitive matter concerning Canadian-US relationships. We are happy to announce that UC#1 has been promoted to the director of the WLBOTT Media Division (WMD). The WMD has been granted access to Air Force One, but only as part of the cleaning crew. We see it as […]
Nothing. Writer’s blott. Not 100% True I do have the evil overlordesses of eggs… We also have this….
