Wired coincidence

August 16, 2003

The latest issue of Wired arrived the other day with more than a few coincidences:

• The cover article is about synthetic diamonds. Kiara just finished reading Ben Bova's Moonrise, which deals with using nanobots to create diamonds.
• Robert Levine interviews Neal Stephenson, just as I start rereading Snow Crash and begin to get psyched for his next book, due next month.
• There's an article about a worldwide electricity grid, just as the grid in the northeastern US fails.
• There's an article on Extreme Programming, just as I finished reading the Extreme Programming Pocket Guide.
