i'm a software engineer. on this account you can probably expect to see:

- me wishing i were a #robot
- #writing some short/bad speculative fiction / cybrestories
- complaining about #computers
- wow #hashtags look so silly
- probably sometimes yelling about tech culture

When most people dream, they imagine themselves in a situation that's somehow better than their real lives. They think of more money. Or power. A bigger house. Or maybe a sexier partner. They're selfish.

As I sat, rolling between my thumb and ring finger the gold-green marble that held my dream, I knew that mine was different.

Everything in it was the same. I had the same job. We lived in the same house. The difference was that you were still you, but I was someone else.

maybe i can convince the equipment people at work that i just really *need* a mechanical keyboard at the office to do my job

work? oh uhh sorry can't today, just busy typing and typing and typing and typing

mmmmm finally a mechanical keyboard
