Winding Down

An idiosyncratic look at, and comment on, the week's net, technology, science and other news

Sorry folks, there's no Winding Down today or for the next few months. I had eye surgery a few weeks ago and it did not go to plan, so I currently only have vision in one eye. The doctors tell me they should be able to fix the problem around Christmas but meanwhile I can't sit at the computer and write.

So you have a little something to look at today, here's a couple of pictures for you. The first is of mountain roads at night:

The second is 15 shark pictures to terrify and delight you:

Footnote:

Please send suggestions for stories to alan@ibgames.com and include the words Winding Down in the subject line, unless you want your deathless prose gobbled up by my voracious Thunderbird spam filter...
