Does any of this enlighten, entertain, or otherwise please you? Please consider a Tip. Every little bit helps!

Cleared enough of my Dropbox storage that I can use it for BeOrg or whatever other small-doc sync tasks I may need.

Clinic talking to her about a meds study, then get curious about whether I can participate.

“Diabetes?”

“Nope. ADHD though.”

“Ok. Overweight?”

“Yep overweight and under tall.”

“Hah! That’s all we—”

“Full disclosure: I vape.”

“Ok I don’t know if they need that—“

“I run Arch BTW.”

@thegibson I mean I still feel epic levels of wonder every day I work with tech.

I wonder how it doesn’t all fall over (more often).

But legit I’m flabbergasted every day with the magic that technology can do, still feel like 7yo looking at the dispatcher’s dashboard at the sheriff’s department, thinking of all the systems it was coordinating. People’s lives depending on those blinky lights.

We casually chat across a globe, immerse ourselves in digital worlds for work and entertainment, people making music from their homes, better identify patterns of life and disease, SO MUCH MAGIC EVERY DAY.

Magic being wasted on oligarchs entranced by surveillance and autocomplete.
