Solitaire

 

Bill Turnbull of Jakarta has an automated solitaire program that he uses to test different strategies.  As a computer nerd, I can appreciate what he is doing.  And yet, after setting up his program and watching it grind through game after game, I am struck by the hilarity of the whole idea of automating solitaire.

Bill’s program shares a web site with artist Rozi Turnbull, presumably Bill’s wife.  She describes herself:

I am the middle child of a musical and artistic family from Dorking in Surrey, England.

So.  Solitaire, programming, art, and Dorking are all connected.  The Googleverse is abundant.
