Watermarks and Anachronism
Amazing how quickly my brain works when it is being dumb.
It’s late at night. I’m surfing about in the online Early Office Museum, trying to wind down from a good evening of teaching. In the process, I ran into the following picture:
So I see the text at the top of the painting at the back of the room: Clearly a web address.
My brain made the following steps:
Oh, look, they have their web address posted. Oh, wait, this was 1910, the didn’t have a web site. Oh, that must have been used for something else, like telegraphy, back then. Oh, you are such an idiot. You should blog about this.
Obviously, a lot of nonsense, punctuated by two rational thoughts there at the end.
Now, I’m sufficiently wound down (and my brain is idle). I’m off to bed. G’night, all.
