I’ve been working on some things related to this post, so I didn’t get to touch on my little computer drama that happened Thursday.

My biggest problem with my Mac has been its power… or its declining ability to hold it. The battery, unplugged, doesn’t work for over 20 minutes. This means I am more and more reliant on my power adapter cord. Well, I’ve having problems with it as well! This lameness included some exposed wires and disconnection of power. I should have imminently discarded the old cord, I know, but, I’m one of the biggest cheap-skates (ever), and I thought I could just tape it up and be done with it… *hangs and shakes head*

Thursday morning, before the caffeine had even made its way through my system, the cord caught fire! It was put out very quickly (thank you, Love) and there was minimal damages (small burn mark on the wall and burnt tape gunk on the desk).

Oooo, adventures before 9-in-the-morning!

Included in MOMA’s new exhibit, Design and the Elastic Mind, is this, The Newton Virus.

In the beginning were harmless computer viruses. Viruses born out of the wit of early computer adopters, viruses whose sole purpose was to surprise and amuse. A non-destructive form of artificial life.
…
The virus will then hit at random, but only once. It will not replicate itself, mail itself to your friends or destroy any of your files, but instead provides you with moments of blissful surprise and magic.
