Happy World Quantum Day Folks - to celebrate we are releasing our latest open quantum hardware project: The ‘Entropy Loop’ This is a USD $35 open source Quantum Random Number Generator made using off the shelf fiber optics and a raspberry pi pico - in a credit-card sized package!! Link below...

Getting enjoyment in the progression from "Prince Andrew" to "Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor" to "a Norfolk man in his 60s" - if this keeps up we might end up at a proper crimewatch nickname. "The Beast of Sandringham" has a nice touch to it.

...and to Tiny Tim, who will NEVER die. He bows to the fiddlers and sashays backwards and throws back his head and laughs deep in his throat and he is a great favorite, Tim. He wafts his cap as he pirouettes under the lamps and hangs his little crutch upon the wall. He says that he will never die.

As I get older I've come to realise that if you open a dip you need to commit to eating at least a certain portion of it. Too little it's going off too fast, too much and you've eaten a whole thing of dip. Use a separate bowl. Commit to the dip.

I come down for breakfast this morning and find my wife crying over the newspaper. She's reading about that murdered CEO. "His wife!" she says. "I can't stop thinking about his wife." I tell her honey, I'll do anything to make you feel better. She says "Will you apply for a job in health insurance?"

You are up to date.
