Thoughts on Time and Shopping
The phrase ‘Time Machine’ came to me one day recently. It seems like it’s been given a poor definition ever since HG Wells used it. Instead of a vehicle for traveling through time, what if time was actually put in motion because of ‘time machines’? I’m imagining some massive Gear and Sprocket equipment, giant flywheels, like somthing out of ‘Metropolis’.
Or maybe it’s a small golden pocket watch, and only because of an old woman who faithfully winds the watch each night, only for this one unknowing act does the spring and wheel of time continue.
Short story fodder really.
Camworld had a great link to a page for best practices for shopping carts. It’s basically a formulation of everything that I’ve been trying to put together but this is a wonderful, well-illustrated article on this. Check it out at: <http://dack.com/web/shopping_cart.html>
