BRIN and STROSS

Yes ... I do like reading David Brin and Charlie Stross ... that's why they are on the blogroll or 'interesting stuff'.  Why? to make it easy for me to see what they're up to.

In any case,  Stross is turning 50  (really?)  ... and has an interesting note about Laundry Reality  --- or as he calls it ' The Curse of Laundry'.   Is it true?

and this is how he ends his piece  ...

 Do you hear me, reality? Do you hear me?

(Author screams quietly, then gets up and slowly backs away from the keyboard before turning and shuffling dispiritedly in the direction of the kitchen, and another mug of tea.)

NO! ... Don't stop ....
