Viridian Note 00221: Viridian AphorismsBruce Sterling [bruces@well.com]
Attention Conservation Notice: Dewy fresh for 2001, it's the long-awaited Viridian Ranking, which describes with pinpoint exactitude where people stand within our Viridian Movement.
Spot the energy that your home town radiates uselessly into deep space. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/0011/earthlights_dmsp_big.jpg (((People who send us a Viridian aphorism receive a glorious Viridian Chevron <^> for their log-in names.)))
"There is nobody so irritating as somebody with less intelligence and more sense than we have." Don Herold "Any philosophy that can be put in a nutshell belongs there." Sydney J. Harris "We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about." Charles Kingsley VIRIDIAN RANKING SYSTEM The Viridian Ranking System has been hand-created with a vintage fountain pen and fine art paper. Scars, flaws, and imperfections add character and are an inherent part of the product. ???????????????????
