A great sunday with another book on the round !!
Jules Verne's "Journey To The Center of the Earth" (1864).

I loved #JulesVerne's expeditionary contraption stories as a kid, including the gripping #steampunk adventure that is Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. I still have a fond spot for the 1954 #Disney film of the same name, although I now acknowledge how terribly racist these #imperialist#exploitation fantasies of Western Europe and America are. But some parts still inspire. With deeper understanding we may still take something good from that, like #LovecraftCountry did. #SciFi#racism
A brand new #JulesVerne spirit lamp that I created from a terrestrial globe over which a small metal moon watches. The foot is an assembly of different steel and brass parts. The cage-shaped lampshade, in old-style riveted steel, comes from an antique boat oil lamp.

Elderly gentlemen in civilized discussions about Interlisp at the Computer Conservation Society in London. It sounds like the beginning of a Jules Verne medley. #Lisp#JulesVerne
