Happy World Brain Day!
I'd rather be a disembodied intelligence drifting through the ether, but if that's off the table, I guess having a brain is ok.

Not-coincidentally to today being Bastille Day, today also marks the birth of Dada.
On July 14th, 1916, writes the New York Times‘ Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim, “the poet Hugo Ball proclaimed the manifesto for a new movement. Its name: Dada. Its aim: to ‘get rid of everything that smacks of journalism, worms, everything nice and right, blinkered, moralistic, europeanised, enervated.'”

Happy birthday, floppy disks!
I never used 8" floppies, but I remember the excitement of my first 5 1/4", which meant I no longer had to save programs for my Trash-80 on cassette tapes. What a time to be alive!

Happy World Oceans Day!
Remember that, as Herman Melville put it, "however baby man may brag of his science and skill, and however much, in a flattering future, that science and skill may augment; yet for ever and for ever, to the crack of doom, the sea will insult and murder him, and pulverize the stateliest, stiffest frigate he can make".

Happy birthday, Edward Lear (b. 5/12/1812)!
How pleasant to know Mr. Lear,
Who has written such volumes of stuff.
Some think him ill-tempered and queer,
But a few find him pleasant enough.
. . . .
He reads, but he does not speak, Spanish,
He cannot abide ginger beer;
Ere the days of his pilgrimage vanish,
How pleasant to know Mr. Lear! -
Happy birthday, Salvador Dali (b. 5/11/1904 in Figueres, Spain)!
