apropos of nothing discussed here recently

O Captain! My Captain! is a poem about the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. It is not an appropriate general-purpose form of address to anyone with the title Captain.

Also, here is a large-ish cute kid picture:

And now the kids' grandparents are here and I have to go.

80 Days currently part of Android Humble Bundle

I mentioned the mobile game 80 Days previously, but I'm really liking it and it's currently part of a Humble Mobile Bundle, where you get it DRM-free for Android if you pay more than the average (currently $4.33). As it usually retails for $5 solo, if you're at all interested in any of the other games, this is a good deal.

Why I like 80 Days ( minor spoilers )

The author (Meg Jayanth, who wrote the incomplete Storynexus game Samsara and is British-Indian) bills it as "decolonised, multicultural steampunk," and there's a little bit more about that in this blog post. If that sounds appealing, or you'd just like half a million evocative words of AU Choose-Your-Own-Adventure very cheap, you should really check 80 Days out. (The iOS is not in the bundle, but: $5. Half a million words.)
