So Rob and I
are at CompUSA when
we come across a joystick and car wheel display.
Rob starts playing with it—suddenly we hear tires squealing and
what sounds like a wounded elephant trampling a car. The steering wheel
controller starts bucking wildly about.
“Cool!” said Rob.
I grab one of the joysticks and pull the trigger. Instantly a gun fires
and the joystick kicks back.
“Cool!” I said.
I try the joystick next to it. Same reaction. I grab both and starting
firing two fisted.
Rob starts poking buttons on the steering wheel.
Joysticks and wheels are bucking, guns are firing, tires screeching,
elephants trumpeting and customers are staying as far away as possible.
We have entirely too much fun.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
