Not even being able to verify via my FB, I understand. That's professional grade, that is.
In happy news, I am meeting a friend for dinner in Salisbury today on the spur of the moment. Same-day notification counts as spur, right? Anyway. Fun.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I have no idea who we're talking about. I guess I should be thankful?

True 'dat.
I don't call being sad that someone who has touched the lives of so many people and quite literally changed the way we communicate across the globe as a species has died canonization.
Perhaps we should reserve that status for musicians and artists?
Only one of them, I think.
All that said, if I may return to elevating Steve Jobs to godhood, I was just a little let down that when I started up my Mac at work this morning that it didn't give me a sad Mac icon. Part of me really believed that there was secret coding worked into the OS that would make a sad Mac pop up after Jobs died.

It will probably come to you in a minute, Jessica.
Happy Birthday, Sail!

Happy birthday, Sail! With extra cake!

OH. Right.

I think it would be fair to call Steve Jobs an artist.

I think Ready Player One and Daemon have skewed my expectations of what's supposed to happen when tech bigwigs die.

Teppy, that brings to mind one of my favorite quotes from The Big Lebowski on Nihilism being exhausting.
I have zero motivation today. I need to clean off my desk, clean the carpets and go buy Liv new sheets.
And yet...here I sit.

I wonder if I can convince Owen to go as Steve Jobs for Halloween.
