I was talking to a friend via e-mail about a topic my friend knew I was
no expert on, and yet for every factual question that came up, I was
able to spin off the correct answer rather than, "I don't know". When
said friend later confessed amazement, I showed said friend how to use
a search engine as if it were no less natural than thinking. Fill in
the details of friend's name and subject area to specify which of
multiple episodes.
Someone asks me for a full list of the projects I'm working on and
thinking of working on, expecting my day job plus maybe one side
project. Said person's jaw is left hanging once I have listed all
current projects, and get to confessing indecision about the business I
would next like to launch: cheap access to space, implantable
augemntation, or wearable computing. Again, fill in the someone's name
to specify which of multiple episodes, sometimes more than once with the
same person (perhaps they thought I was joking, or that it was but a
temporary fancy).
Who needs blue hair or visible piercings to freak people, at least those
who matter to oneself, these days? ^_^;
