I combined three things I’m really good at today to great effect:
- Betting on the goodness of technology
- Trying to make things go fast
- Spending money
What I came up with was: an unflyable airplane and a dead hard drive. The airplane won’t fly because its internal wiring is so lengthy as to be its own distortion amplification device (aka an antenna). The hard drive died (less than 6 months old!) for reasons unknown to me, but it was being moved from one PC case to another.
There are a lot of other things worse in the world, but these two events have conspired against my state of zen today.
