tales of an electro-tech gangster...


just when you think you're out, they pull you back in...

whose idea was it to incorporate planned obsolescence into modern electronics? that shit is irritating. fortunately i know how to take care of my shit. unfortunately, when the shit does go on the blink, it is difficult if not impossible to get shit repaired 'cause it's obsolete as soon as i bill for it.

my youngest god doesn't even know what a VCR is for. i find that humorous. he has asked me on more than 1 occasion what kind of movies did we watch when i was his age. i have to remind him that all this electronic shit we use today didn't exist when i was his age.

the wife likes to refer to me as a mogwai, 'cause of my interest in gadgets 'n' shit. i still remember the 1st time i saw/put my fingers on a TI system. i believe it was at a store in Bermuda of all places. the older i get the smaller, faster, & more powerful the devices seem to get. it's kinda sad that these things bring such chemical harm to the environment when they rot in dumps 'n' whatnot. actually, that's fucked up, but i still dig electronics.

i knew a dude that would buy shit just 'cause it was new. i try not to get caught up in that shit. new doesn't usually mean good. most new shit has glitches that still need to be ironed out. i still like to read about new tech though. i used to read about new shit a lot more than i do now. lately i just catch the shit that drifts into the news here & there.

apparently i talk a lot about tech, 'cause there are people that will actually ask me for tech advice when it's time to get some new shit. i also get cats telling me about their latest gadget purchases. at 1st that shit was a l'il irritating, but thinking about it now, it's another great way to find out about new shit.

anyways, looks like i need to operate 2-3 PC's at 1 time to be proficient in my current true career endeavors. i keep telling myself that it's excessive, but it appears that i actually need to have multiple systems. i tried to design 1 system that could function as more than 1, but that hasn't seemed to work out quite so well. the design hinged on removable system drives, but i never turn the damn thing off unless it's fucked up, or i'm upgrading it...

make like i'm not fiending for a 24" widescreen HD LCD monitor for the main system...

PEACE
...be calm...
