Multi-Colored Commiseration
It’s a good thing to have someone you can commiserate with, even if it’s via multi-colored bubbles.
Josh made this fabulous statement today. It exposes a humorously grim reality of computer based communication, where we are simultaneously freed by, and mocked by our interface. Colorful bubbles or not, I still like to talk to people, but sometimes it makes an awfully goofy impression. Its like having a clown running around blowing balloon animals and honking an air horn while you are trying to have a serious intellectual debate with someone.

In a totally unrelated incident, the computer lab computer I’m working on at the moment has a broken ‘forward arrow’ key, and its driving me absolutely batty, time to switch computers.
