The Protest

Image
Our college was broke. The insofar strict professors and dean had to turn amiable for potential investors. They were trying to raise money by selling some of the artworks of famous ex-students and artists. The exhibition was going splendidly with some students giving a brief presentation before each artwork was brought out. Photo Credits: http://www.thepeakoftreschic.com/2012/03/artwork-to-adore.html The dean, satisfied at seeing the investors happy faces, wiped the sweat off his brow. He could use a break, he thought and retired to his office. His moments of peace were short lived. A frantic professor called the dean, "You better come down. The students are going berserk." "What on Earth!" he mumbled and walked as fast as his hefty legs could carry him. A group had taken the stage and completely derailed the presentation by steering it to graphic descriptions of what they thought the artwork meant. Investors were walking away and the dean fumbled and scrambled to g...

All the ways I die

In tarot and in various dream interpretations, seeing (own) death can mean 'change'. I have been noticing and writing about witch weather for the past couple of months in my journal.

I have had to google what frogging meant before I could write this. Fortunately, none of the meanings are dodgy, but they are as close to what I am about to describe as a chimpanzee is to a digital clock. The year is 3050 A.D. Future is futuristic but I have spent very little time in reality to tell you about it. What I want to talk about is the way we code. They are not lines of commands anymore that hide the circuits and switches that perform every action. The Operating Systems are now entire worlds and each function is a landscape. You could get into the world to explore and see how it works, but it would be as easy as baking a pie when you do not know how to make salt water. To help with this, we release black jaguars to perform sanity testing. They are fast, nimble and efficient. Also, now bugs aren't called bugs, they are called snakes. They thrive in all sorts of environments and are good at camouflage and hiding. Jaguars might find some and destroy them, but it won't fi...
