It has just occurred to me that data hoarding is the 21st century version of bibliomania.

At night I dream of public transportation networks so efficient they make cars obsolete

The origins of modern genetics. From Mendel's principles of heredity, by W. Bateson.

(cont.) These F₂ plants were again allowed to fertilise themselves and the offspring of each plant was separately sown. It was then found that the offspring, F₃, of the recessives consisted entirely of recessives. Further generations bred from these recessives again produced recessives only, and therefore the recessives which appeared in F₂ are seen to be pure to the recessive character, namely, in the case we are considering, to dwarfness. But the tall F₂ dominants when tested by a study of their offspring (F₃), instead of being all alike (as the dwarfs or recessives were), proved to be of two kinds, viz. (a) Plants which gave a mixed F₃ consisting of both talls and dwarfs, the proportion showing again an average of three talls to one dwarf. (b) Plants which gave talls only and are thus pure to tallness. The ratio of the impure (a) plants to the pure (b) plants was as 2 to 1. The whole F₂ generation therefore, formed by self-fertilisation of the original hybrid consists of three kinds of plants: 25% pure dominants, 50% impure dominants, 25% pure recessives. Or three dominants : one recessive.

"The world will never starve for want of wonders, but for want of wonder. We should always endeavor to wonder at the permanent thing, not at the mere exception. We should be startled by the sun, and not by the eclipse. We should wonder less at the earthquake, and wonder more at the earth. What was wonderful about childhood is that anything in it was a wonder. It was not merely a world full of miracles; it was a miraculous world."

have you considered that it's you who is old, and not the email draft?

While I was typing up some documents this afternoon, I needed a throwaway email address to receive some information.

So I logged into an older account I have, then clicked the drafts folder. I found a draft of an email from 2017.

The body read, "This email will have to wait." I guess I must have been hyperliteral at the time, since it's now been waiting for eight years.

Just a moment. I have to scatter some of my thoughts across the internet.
