I have lived an enjoyable long life. A life of wickedness and adventure. I have been the thing in the darkness that people fear. I would not have changed a thing.

On Wall Street the keys are “Buy low!” And “Pick out a stock that can grow!” But the sucker who buys May soon get a surprise When he finds it has lower to go.
O Christmas Tree
This year the Borg assimilated our Christmas tree and decked it with energy-efficient lights. Soon the tree will join “The Collective,” so let us admire its biological and technological distinctiveness one last time before it goes. O Christmas Tree, O … Continue reading
