The
Star Rover
by
Jack London
|
|
Inspired by his friend Ed Morell,
who spent five years in the barbaric
San Quentin jail, The Star Rover
is a searing indictment of a violent
and corrupt penal system. Describing
the brutality of a life behind
bars,
it explores the power of imagination
to transcend physical hardship,
and ultimately sustain hope.
Whoa!
of course I didn't write that,
I stole it from a publisher,
Prometheus
Books
For the "open source" crowd
there is the text
online at

you're at it - A

From the Land Down Under,
Where men are men
and women are traded for
horses and
lawn equipment
Caught
on any lesser mower, you are diced and fed to a wombat.

an ocean)

And
of course - the famous Ty Rover and Space Rover toys 
Yeah,
I had never heard of them either,
but somebody thought them worth mentioning.
They're both red. |
Even "The Evil Empire" loves Rover  |
"Rover"
-- 1995-2001
"Rover," that mangey little mutt,
went from "old yeller" to "new feller"
and took on a
whole new look. Microsoft Bob's 1995 Rover is a 2-D
sprite
graphic with a cartoonish "flat" look. Windows XP's Rover is a 3-D
rendered model with textured "skin" and more realistic motion.
In
2001, Microsoft gave Rover a new life in Windows XP --
six years after being
introduced in Microsoft Bob. - Dan Rose

Dear Jason, Wow!
That's neat! You named a whole theatre company after me? I've never even been
to Texas! My
people say you can use one image or even both images. I wonder why no one names
dogs Rover anymore. And
I love having visitors on my webpage, so a link to rover-planet.com would be great. Thanks
a lot for emailing. My people thought this was great. -Rover http://www.rover-planet.com |
