A Winter Farewell

Two foxes look at each other from across a shallow stream in a snowy forest with some snowy hills and a frozen lake in the background

We are somewhere in space, and we can see the stars through the clouds. In the center of our attention is a bowl with intricate patterns and broad noodles in blue, purple, pink, orange, and yellow colors.

Chopsticks were placed on top of the bowl, and a tiny person wearing a hooded cloak is meditating on these sticks, channeling the power of the noodles, partly floating in the air. The floor also interacts with these powers surrounding the bowl in circles.

A noodle curtain behind the meditating person suggests a larger creature in the sky enjoying this powerful and delicious delicacy.

Doctor Who Minus Context
@nocontextwho@mastodon.social

#doctorwho

Episode with Peter Capaldi, teenage heartthrob. The Doctor is walking around his TARDIS on the upper level, talking to no one in particular but himself. Captions read, “Never be cruel, never be cowardly… and never, ever eat pears!” Three equally important axioms of morality. Happy release day for the Series 10 soundtrack.

Be careful when walking through the woods after snowfall - its easy to lose the path and run into the creatures.

Milan, 2015. I was visiting the Exposition Internationale with some friends, and we approached the Swiss pavilion.
Switzerland's pavilion's theme was sustainability and careful exploitation of natural and finite resources.
They had built a huge tower, filled with candies, dried fruits, and silly gadgets, and they intended to let visitors take whatever they wanted for free, reminding them that the amount of resources was finite, so they had to self-pace.
No need to say, people hoarded all kind of gadgets and dried candies, so, some weeks after the opening, organizers had to shut parts of the tower, and decided to open them gradually, otherwise, in just a few weeks, there would have been nothing left for the late visitors, just empty rooms. When we visited, I took a silly apple-shaped pin (apparently), and put it in the smallest and most hidden internal pocket of my jeans, and forgot it there. Today, I found it. I din't even remember that I had it. I guess that taking a pin and keep it for ten years in your pocket, while letting it rust, is a clear sign that I understand nothing about preserving finite resources of our planet.

The metallic pin of Sylvie Mela, the mascotte of the Swiss pavilion at Exposition Internationale held in Milan in 2015. The mascotte is an antropomorphic apple.

Beard Planet. A snowy sci-fi fantasy landscape (grey, blue, white colors with warmer lights in yellow and pink).

Mountain ranges far into the distance. These mountains are unusual, wise old grey men with long snowy beards flowing into the valley. The lead us into the distance to even taller grey man mountains in groups, rock the landscape, or stand alone, and are smoking their pipes. Yes, you assumed correctly. They create all the clouds and fog on this planet. Maybe even the new glowing planet and the snow originated from these magic pipes. How? Well, we can explore this landscape a bit further to find the mystery. In the foreground is a tiny village. Some houses can be found on the stony beards in the valley, and bearded inhabitants are sitting in front of their chimneys, enjoying delicious sweets, a drink similar to hot chai tea, while smoking a pipe.

Believe it or not, I’m still figuring out where HTML got its angle brackets.

But despite grabbing a lot of interlibrary items, I am not sure I’m getting any closer. I still have some ideas, but one involves going to a museum in Maine, which might take a while.

However, good news (for someone?): There are now over 40 papers and books I scanned that deal with history of markup. Enjoy!
