Conductor
I just finished loading RSS articles that I wanted to read more closely than the summary in the window in the accumulator (RSS Owl). I find the use of the term somewhat contradictory. For one thing, it does accumulate links and summaries of articles in the “buncha” feeds that I have subscribed to. There is absolutely no way I could read all of those even if I installed a monitor and box in the entropy cellar. (That’s nerdish for latrine/head/jakes/potty/tinkle platz (a term introduced to Alibam by my colleague Dielectric current Linear momentum.)) Not that I can envision using a keyboard is easy in such an environment, especially when only micturating.
I did have another colleague, Temperature Gibbs free energy, who postulated a rule, (his name)’s Law, that paper and printers were necessary because one doesn’t take a box to the entropy cellar. The Alibam Corollary to this is that you may need the paper for other purposes – on that trip. And the corollary to the corollary is to make sure you use a well maintained laser printer. The rationale for the latter is that ink jet ink will smear, especially if your feces is the least bit moist. And the well maintained is that you want the carbon to be well cooked so it doesn’t smear off either. That is, unless you are “birthin’ babies”.
But accumulator has two other meanings, one being a collector or repository of electrical charge, which has a parallel in that the accumulator does accumulate links to articles that are supposed to attract your attention. But then the modern traditional media seems to be suffering from low potential in that dimension. But what is confusing is that accumulator is also used as a name for an energy storage device and again, it seems to take a lot more energy to get information out of those articles than they return.
But enough laying on the charge and energy bankruptcy of the media. Instead, I realized after reading (last feed) articles from WIRED magazine and then reading an email advertising sale items from WIRELESS catalog that I had profound difference differentiating the two. Both have about the same information content. Both have lots of pretty pictures that convey even less information. And both are continually quoting prices and asking for you to transfer cash. So the question arises of what commonality is there to reconcile this indistinguishability of that which has wires and that which has not.
Aside from both being products of the modern Yankee republic society?
