Ozymandias

Updated:

I met a traveler from a fallen land
Who said: A trashed and useless interface
Sits on a website. And linked on the page,
ne’er clicked,, a tattered image lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its artist well those passions read
Which yet survive, displayed on the useless screen,
The man that mocked us and the heart that bled:
And under the picture these words appear:
“My name is Barack Obama, President:
Look at my prices, ye insured, and despair!”
Nothing aside remains. From the decay
of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The sick and desperate souls stayed far away

As well they should.

  1. Must be a broken link, it just goes to the comments of one of Rand’s posts. Wonder what the addy is for the author’s blog?

  2. Thanks. 🙂

    I took a short break from transient heat transfer calculations on a new type of rocket engine cooling system to burn a few minutes writing that little piece. On the engine front, I think I can pretty trivially move fluxes up to 400 MW/m^2 or more with stuff I can buy at Graingers. On the down side, now I have gears in the combustion chamber.
