When Technology Attacks
Today at lunch (erm, it was a LIQUID lunch, let's be straight), French Geek pulled out his new iPhone and began taking video of us.
Yes.
Then, he posted it to Facebook.
I don't really care, and my face isn't visible, but we have loads of colleagues on Facebook and we were drinking and carousing during a two-hour lunch. These are the sorts of things that SEEM cool at the time and then come back to bite you in the ass and break up friendships. Hee.
But man, the LOLZ were great. And, with the power of technology, used for good, he was able to edit it so that the bit where my middle finger appeared out of nowhere and "walked" across the screen wasn't there. But my colleagues put napkins over their heads and then put their sunglasses back on and continued their conversation. Sekrit msg to no_detective: like theatre! With PUPPETS!
A girl can't drink in peace anymore without pictures, video or audio being taken, or having all her secrets Twittered, Facebook updates made disclosing her location, and so on. It would be like being famous if anyone cared. Remember when answering machines were cutting edge?
I'm re-watching the Merlin episode with Lancelot and JESUS it is so gay. SO GAY. Everyone crushes on Lancelot except Uther. Uther is like, "my son is not allowed to have a knight that he is in love with, I forbid it." And Merlin just spends the whole episode gazing longingly at Lancelot and striving to "make him happy because he deserves it." So. Gay.
Yes.
