I was just looking in a file labeled Sasha on this computer and I found this image. I'm not too sure where it came from. And then I thought maybe the computer was becoming self-aware, because I often suspect this of technology. My relationship with technology is not quite as fraught with tension as my relationship with birds. It's simmered down nicely in the last few years, but between 2002-2006 you couldn't burn a CD with me in the room. For real. I used to like to think it was personal magnetism, but those years were intensely mutually antagonistic for me and the 'puters. Thankfully, of late I just go through DVD players with great ferocity. I think the image above really represents a turning point for technology and me. Instead of menacing shutdowns and malfunctions, we have reached an uneasy truce of quirky cooperation.
