I saw the legendary Mary Beard last night at Melbourne Recital Centre.

I even got my question read out / answered (quite the thrill for me). I asked about her reaction to the recent meme of men being asked how often they "think about the Roman Empire?" - it struck me as a weirdly gendered phenomenon. Having her unpack this was interesting.

Depth jump 1

And this is my scene based on Star Gate. In this room it is something. This is depth jump. First room. In Antarctic. Under the ice. It was some random signal from there. From the under ice. It was a impulse with energy. Someone outside try to activate this depth jump.

I remember why!
Alta Vista was the search engine of the day.

Then Google popped up, and it was super effective. And for a long while, 6-12 months it was only something folks in the know used.

So by "googling" it, you were one of the #digerati

The in crowd.
