Welcome to Craig Holm's fiction website. 
 
I intend to use this website to provide links and information about things happening in the world that interest me and which I hope interest you. It will also be the place where you can download my eBooks as they become available.
 

Periodically I get up on my SOAPBOX (below) to shout out what I'm thinking about. I'm the first to admit that I'm no expert, but maybe when I'm on my soapbox I can get you to think a little differently about the subject at hand. Let me know what you think!

Time for a Wee Ditty
by Craig Holm     Published 11/11/2011

I always liked the Disney film, Mary Poppins, ever since my Mother took me to see it years ago. A great family film without the cynicism and sexual subtext we're bombarded with today. The movie was just plain fun.  Bob Owen and I used to see how fast we could sing the tongue twister tune "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious."

Well, the years have zipped by, leaving Mary Poppins in the dim recesses of our childhood memories. They did for me anyway, apparently Mary Poppins is still very much alive for Bob. So much so that he took the time to rewrite the lyrics of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, renaming it EverFlowingNoResistanceSuperConductivity!  Only a nerd could appreciate Bob's version of the venerable old tune. Since I'm as big a nerd as Bob, I've provided it here for for the rest of the nerds of the world to sing along.

EverFlowingNoResistanceSuperConductivity
lyrics by Robert Owen © 2010

EverFlowingNoResistanceSuperConductivity!
Even though the sound of it
Denotes its speci-fi-city
If resistance’s low enough
The amps flow through per-pe-tuity
EverFlowingNoResistanceSuperConductivity!

Ohm very little little Ohm little E
Ohm very little little Ohm little E
Ohm very little little Ohm little E
Ohm very little little Ohm little E

Electrons pair up very nicely
When it’s awful cold
Then resistance shrinks to nothing
This is what I’m told
Palladium and copper alloys
Are best for this to see
Add some liquid ni-tro-gen its
As frigid as can be – Oh!

EverFlowingNoResistanceSuperConductivity!
Even though the sound of it
Denotes its speci-fi-city
If resistance’s low enough
The amps flow through per-pe-tuity
EverFlowingNoResistanceSuperConductivity!

Ohm very little little Ohm little E
Ohm very little little Ohm little E
Ohm very little little Ohm little E
Ohm very little little Ohm little E

It runs colliders, Smashes atoms
and lifts our trains you know,
Not much power to supply
It’s really quite a show
But it can get so very pricey
to keep it oh-so-cold
Cause when it warms it flat dead stops
-A big electric load! – Oh!


EverFlowingNoResistanceSuperConductivity!
Even though the sound of it
Denotes its speci-fi-city
If resistance’s low enough
The amps flow through per-pe-tuity
EverFlowingNoResistanceSuperConductivity!

Ohm very little little Ohm little E
Ohm very little little Ohm little E
Ohm very little little Ohm little E
Ohm very little little Ohm little E

Of course you can say it backwards y’know
Ity-vit-cud-noc-rep-us-es-nat-sis-erong-niwl-freve?

Ugh – what’s the point in that?
Dude!

So keep those charges on the move
amaze your friends all day
You’ll be the talk around the lab –
ooh and ahh they’ll say
Floating bits in Petri dishes
makes a grand display!
But keep it cold and never warm cause
It won’t work that way! Oh!

EverFlowingNoResistanceSuperConductivity!
EverFlowingNoResistanceSuperConductivity!
EverFlowingNoResistanceSuperConductivity!
EverFlowingNoResistanceSuperConductivity!

Ohm very little little Ohm little E
Ohm very little little Ohm little E
Ohm very little little Ohm little E
Ohm very little little Ohm little E
