Coastal smoothing was achieved today, Friday November 19, 1993, at 1:29 PM Pacific Time at the west coast facilities of the Alexander Research Institute. Chief Algorithmist John Cartan could not be reached for comment; sources report that he is exhausted after "pulling an all-nighter." Early reports suggest that the algorithm is promising but definitely needs further refinement. The staff at A.R.I. is now transmitting screenshots to their Salt Lake City office for further analysis.
