Winter Waning Moon of the Cold Month
BF Skinner’s definition of creativity? Noticing that the chicken is an eggs’ way of making more eggs. This quip came to mind when I took my Canon pixma printer into the shop for repair. The guy said, truthfully, too, that it may well cost more to fix it than to buy a new one. Why? Because a printer is just an ink maker’s way of making you buy more ink. Color printers have low prices so folks will snap them up, take them home and print lots of color stuff, or, alternatively, print black and white stuff while the pricey color inks go dry anyhow. I have an HP Laserjet 4m that handles all of my black and white printing, the toner, while not cheap, lasts 5-6,000 pages and I bought this HP in 1992 or so. It’s one of the few things I own that is older than the Celica. Gnashing of teeth on the pixma.
Scurried over to the grocery store for that stuff I forgot yesterday, then back home for lunch.
Now I’m going to pick up the Titian catalog, read some there, and spend time in Wheelock chapter 26, comparatives. After that, the treadmill.
