I was feeling extra sleepy this morning, so I decided to get on the subway for a good commute nap. I sat in one of the seats where you sit in line with the direction of travel of the train, and a guy sits down in the seat on the opposite side facing the same way. Basically, right next to me, a few feet away. I look at him and think, "that guy sort of looks like Cohen, but... nah..." I then spent the rest of my time that I was awake thinking about the good ol' days at Stuy.
We both get out at 34th Street, and give each other a puzzled look before exiting the car. I spoke first.
- "Cohen?"
- "Dadap?"
WORD.
Someone came into the store today with a 14-year-old Mac Classic. I love finding out how people are still getting along with ancient hardware when people bring old-ass machines. It made me feel all nostalgic
I went over to do an installation for a guy on 12th street: we needed to update him from 8.6 to 9.2. More nostalgia. He showed me an email someone had sent him, with a JPEG attachment of what the sender claimed to be a "micrograph of an energy/matter field forming in front of a pair of rotating ATP molecules". I admit my knowledge of physics is limited, but I just don't see how the kind of image that was claiming to be is possible. I mean, what kind of crazy super-short-wavelength energy would be needed to image that sort of thing? The accompanying text was quite amusing, though.
