Electricty flowing like water

The moon is Waxing Gibbous

That’s how it was described to me once.

When I asked an electrician I knew to explain to me why electricity didn’t fall out of the outlets if there wasn’t a plug to stop it, he gave me some story about how electrity flows like water. Well, now, according to this article on the BBC, electricity may flow from water. It’s not hydro-electric power plants, but it is electricity generated from the flow of water. Fascinating and new, so no one knows what the implications are yet. Perfect fodder for a near-future science-fiction story!

More Conlang Scripts!

This is the second new script.

Last week, I re-released my Conlang Word Generator in a limited version. This week, I’ve added a variation on that generator. This version lets you use your own source lexicon! So, if you wanted to make more words that were similar to your own, hand-crafted conlang, all you have to do is copy and paste words from that conlang into the input section and click the button. Presto! More words in the same style as your conlang. Or, at least, similar to your conlang. So, now, you don’t need to rely on my choice of datasets. Go have fun!

More Space War!

The moon is a First Quarter Moon

Wow, they’re really on this!

Here’s another article on war in space. This article on the Oakland Tribune site is about a high-powered laser that they’re developing into a weapon. So, we may have Star Wars yet! (The government program, not the movie, you goof.)
