Time's Up
Does time's arrow go down, up or sideways for you? Interesting observations here about how the arrow of time goes in different directions for different occupations. For physicists, writing diagrams starting at the bottom of the board, it always goes up; for computer scientists, it goes down as they work down the screen; for Western writers it goes left to right. Bloggers, I can't help thinking, are caught in some strange hybrid world, in which time goes up as new posts pile on top of old, and yet also left to right and down. I'm going to lie down now.
