Today may have been the best day ever for almost a month after it was initially lost, my 8 core macpro has been returned to me by my new pregnant best friend at the Delta baggage center, Eileen. I feel like maybe the song should be "come on Eileen" instead in her honor, but she had some funky colored hair so I figured Blonde Redhead would be a good fit. This song/album blew my mind when I first heard it last August. I was moving to Brooklyn from Harlem at the time, and was so happy to get the hell out of the closet sized sorority I was living in up there. Brooklyn is Better. and blonde redhead is really trendy and cool. I'm not even going to deny it.
Does this look familiar to any techs out there? Ahh the precious days of preparation. 7200 RPM, eSATA, USB, LI-ion, RGB, CMYK, SSD, RAID 0+1, FTP, TIF, JPEG, P25, H1, RAM, and my personal favorite, IEEE 1394. This is what I dream (mostly nightmares) about. Random abbreviations clog my brain on a constant basis. It started informally when I was in middle school with the invention of Instant messaging. BRB, TTFN, LOL, JK and my favorite ROFLMAO. Even as a professional I still feel the need to turn everything into an acronym. My latest favorite is BAMF (pronounced just like that Canadian Ski Resort) which is bad ass mother fucker. Despite everyone going all CEPIA (changing every phrase into acronyms) for years now, I somehow feel that NASA is to blame. Could we please force them to do something useful? We only have a few decades left on this planet before it just gets pissed off and kills us all.
So as I clean exploded ink cartridges out of my wayward Epson printer, all I can think about is this weekend and my LCD and PS3. From now on no more acronyms.
