Does it ever happen to you that in one day you encounter a new word twice? It happened to me yesterday. The word is homeostasis, which is basically resistance to change. Anyway, yesterday I heard it for the first time on Channel 9‘s interview with the creators of a completely new, experimental OS by Microsoft called Singularity. About an hour later I encountered the word in a book I’m reading, “The Lure Of Happiness” by Raphaella Bilski.
Feels really weird when stuff like that happens.
