I’m planning to upgrade to Typo 5.0.2 running on Rails 2.0.2 stable over the next week or so. There may be some more instability than usual associated with the changes, I extend my apologies in advance.
Update: The upgrade is more or less done, with only a few bumps along the way. Most of the benefits seem to show up on the administration side, not in the public view.

Please do
see me in court.
In my Valentine’s verse,
your software changed ‘disengaged’ to
‘engaged.’

I
Matisse,
in his forties,
was years before his peak.
So what’s the rush? I’ve still got loads
of time.
II
Bastard!
that young pipsqueak
doesn’t deserve that car.
I raced Mustangs when he played with
Hot Wheels.
III
Okay,
I’ll lose some weight,
and switch to light beer too.
I’ll show my old lady I’ve still
got it.
IV
Hang on,
maybe there’s a way.
If I could sell this place…
Dammit, what’s the use, who am I
kidding?
V
Ali –
he missed his chance
at gradual decay.
Strange to picture him living to
my age.

portals swing wide…
these primates have learned
to jump
Tau Ceti bound, we skip the null zones

each life
vindicated
in words of four letters
John Donne
The RNA language is written in
an alphabet of four letters
(A, C, G, U), grouped into words three letters long, called triplets or codons. Each of the 64 codons specifies one of 20 amino acids or else serves as a punctuation mark signaling the end of a message. That’s all there is to the code. But a nagging question has never been put to rest: Why this particular code, rather than some other?

for matters
terrestrial
all hail your viceroy
if they could they’d sacrifice virgins
the brute of earth:
I cut him,
he does not bleed

This is
your brain-shaped box,
out in space, dreaming worlds.
This alarm tells you it’s time to
awake.
Boltzmann’s idea might work too well, filling the megaverse with more Boltzmann brains than universes or real people.

through our filters
a sweet burning…
Cherokee Rille
the new sweat lodge
Trickster knows it well
A vital sunshade, just one example of advances in technology between the Mariner 10 and MESSENGER missions, allows the new probe to keep its sophisticated instruments at about room temperature while the sun-facing side reaches a scorching 600 degrees Fahrenheit (315 degrees Celsius).
