Simon Lindsay, RIP
A unique Kiwi blogger, Simon Lindsay, passed away this morning. Mr Dodderyoldfart, as he called himself, authored Rest Area 300, Confessions of a New Zealand Road Worker. It was possibly the only blog written by a road worker with such charm, intelligence & humor. Here is a eulogy by a reader-friend.
I had a few beers with Doddery on Christmas 2005, and he hosted me at his house when I visited the north island. We watched a Scottish bagpipe band accompanied by lamas lead the local Christmas parade, and talked politics, life, blogging & literature.
He will be missed.

Smile
The Turk was a chess-playing machine, an automaton of the late 18th century, which was later proved to be an illusionary hoax. Publicly promoted as an automaton and given its common name based on its appearance, the Turk was in fact a mechanical illusion that allowed a human chess master to hide inside and operate the machine

The last Thylacine
The last Thylacine was filmed in 1933 in the Hobart Zoo where it lived for three years. The Thylacine died on 7 September 1936 as the result of neglect
Cecil, you're my final hope
Of finding out the true Straight Dope
For I have been reading of Schroedinger's cat
But none of my cats are at all like that.
This unusual animal (so it is said)
Is simultaneously live and dead!
What I don't understand is just why he
Can't be one or other, unquestionably.
My future now hangs in between eigenstates.
In one I'm enlightened, the other I ain't.
If you understand, Cecil, then show me the way
And rescue my psyche from quantum decay.
But if this queer thing has perplexed even you,
Then I will and won't see you in Schroedinger's zoo
The story of Schroedinger's cat. (an epic poem, as told by Cecil Adams)

Least effective forms of political activism
Stop me if you've read this column before.
In 1999, I wrote a dreamy tribute to then presidential candidate Bill Bradley and commented: "I don't believe that I will ever live in a country that elects Bill Bradley president. I'd like to live in that country, though."
In 2002, 27 months before Howard Dean's presidential campaign imploded, I wrote: "Howard Dean is the story we tell ourselves every four years; the Paul Tsongas story, the Bruce Babbitt story, the John Anderson story. It is a very diverting fable, this notion of the brilliant, worthy, and committed outsider who has a decent chance of becoming our next president."
