Easy to Please

July 31st, 2006General2 comments

Some people need constant attention or never-ending reasurrance that everything will be all right. All it takes to please me is a new computer.

I was talking to Jill the other day about computer names; she noted that I call my computers “machines” instead of anthropomorphizing and naming them like people do with cars and bombers.

I guess this is part of my philosophy about not seeing a computer as having sentimental value. To me it’s just a power tool.

But I think that will change with this new laptop. To keep up with geek tradition, I name thee Spock.

Evil parallel universe Spock.

I Know This to be True: From now until the earth is enveloped by the sun, there will always be mopey teenage boys wearing Led Zepplin t-shirts.

I spotted another one today trailing behind his soccer mom. No pic because I was slow on the draw with my cam.

I think they actually existed even before Led Zepplin existed. I think they existed before t-shirts existed.
