For Shipwright.com, it's Donald McKay's ships =
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_McKay> and famous clippers =
(shortened) (Flying) cloud, (Neptune's) car, &cet, then Jack Aubrey's =
commands <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Aubrey> (sophie, =
surprise...), and, finally, the names of various sentient ships in the =
Iain M. Banks "Culture" universe =
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ships_(The_Culture)> (Prosthetic) =
conscience, (Kiss My) ass, (Shoot Them) later, &cet. Haven't really =
scratched the surface, there :-).
For IBUC.com it's names of bearer instruments throughout history. =
bullae, talent, penny, &cet.
For Philodox.com it's sophists and other intellectual charlatans. =
protagoras, gorgias, mesmer, lysenko, &cet. No shortage of those, =
either.
rah.ai is only one machine, so far. Haven't come up with a naming =
convention there, haven't begun to think about it, either. Maybe the =
words of the LRY Cheer, or something...
Cheers,
RAH
