Objects at Rest
Friday, January 6th, 2006Happy New Year.
I fondly remember puzzles from classic interactive fiction that involve revisiting places after long periods of time. In Quendor, it seems, objects can remain intact and undisturbed for tens or even hundreds of years.
And on Earth. too. In the Spring of last year, a careless realtor presumably left the mug depicted here on a window sill near the intersection of Rhodes Street and Wilson Boulevard. I took this picture today.
It might be fun to conduct an open-ended scavenger hunt, with some items to be collected in the future.
My XSLT-based blog software, by the way, did not successfully weather the change of year (Y2k+6 problem?), lending support to the adage that If it isn’t tested, it doesn’t work.
I have posted an update. [Note: this blog has since been moved to WordPress]
