I think that I shall never see
A graph more lovely than a tree.
A tree whose crucial property
Is loop-free connectivity.
A tree that must be sure to span
So packets can reach every LAN. First, the root must be selected.
By ID, it is elected.
Least cost paths from root are traced. In the tree, these paths are placed.
A mesh is made by folks like me, Then bridges find a spanning tree.

Radia Perlman may be the smartest person I have ever met. I heard her tell the story of inventing the Spanning Tree algorithm in a dream, and the writing it down as a poem.

• In this 2009 portrait of Radia Perlman, she wears a blue linen top with silver filigree buttons and faces the camera with a friendly smile. Her graying brown hair is pulled back behind her ears and between her open hands she holds an open copy of her book "Interconnections: Bridges, Routers, Switches, and Internetworking Protocols"

Actually just looked it up and I was wrong: it was a salmon avocado roll… and neither tenkasu nor onions are on the official ingredients list. Hah.

Maybe I’ve only had the Toronto bastardisation of this thing.

Mixed feelings/not sure who/what is right…

When the Japanese bastardisation of an American bastardisation of a Japanese food is not what you expect (California roll where instead of tenkasu (tempura flakes) they used shaved raw onion)……

• “Libraries are more than the customer service departments for corporate database products. For democracy to thrive at global scale, libraries must be able to sustain their historic role in society—owning, preserving, and lending books. This ruling is a blow for libraries, readers, and authors and we plan to appeal it.”
