the future catches up with me, part 200532

[egypturnash]

Ah, the joy of finally having a laptop: I just read Slashdot while sitting on the toilet and, um, not having a good time.

The article in question was about some new "web 2.0 enabled social web browser" called Flock. Somehow, that seemed appropriate.

No, I don't plan to do any further bathroom-blogging exploits. But, yknow, back when I was a teenager, I sort of imagined a day when you could do stuff like read netnews on the toilet, and now it's here - it's been here ever since laptops and wi-fi were readily available. And I just finally caught up with it.

Welcome to the unglamorous parts of the future, Peggy. Be careful - don't drop your computer in the bowl.

Is that the same "Good Luck Mr. Gorsky" from that joke about the Russian guy and the first moon landing?

Soon innovative technology will actually let us do our business directly on the internet itself. And we think the internet is filthy now!
