So then, it comes as no surprise that this thinware computing concept was partly spawned by a theatrical need: tech theatre people solve problems you’ve never thought of on a daily basis. They’re used to making the unreal a solid enough illusion to last for a few moments within an audience’s perception. Flickering images on a screen. They made it look good as a performance piece first, and then built how the system would operate based on the logical outgrowths of that. There is a lesson in that: imagine your perfect option in its greatest, finest detail. Research it and prepare for it. “The things need only themselves. Get yourself ready, go!” [...] [...] They also talk in that article about the actual use of these expressionist interfaces resembles the direction of a symphony or an orchestra.

Speaking of hoboing, I looked at a touring bike today for sale via a friend of a co-worker. Great bike for a really good deal from a guy who's done way more biking than I'll probably ever do, along with a whole lot of karate (monkey-style apparently) and tai chi until he got a bone disease that now limits his physical activity. Wild stuff, nice guy. Also started pricing field equipment, a small bivvy-style tent, tarps, etc. Have already begun purchasing clothing and gear in preparation. Basically going to take the month of may to train for distance riding, it looks like - among other things. Also bought an old Army manual about map reading and land navigation. Finished reading through my ham exam prep materials for the second time. Pretty close to being ready to take that test too. Lots of changes ahead and I'm becoming more and more ready. Today was some kind of turning point - however small. Well, thanks one and all! Speaking of hoboing, I looked at a touring bike today for sale via a friend of a co-worker.

Like a many faceted crystal that keeps reflecting things I can <em>almost</em> piece together. I think it's better that way. Must have read it at least three times. Thank you.
