I made an omelette with cheese for breakfast, and a pot of tea. Z had three cups of tea. He is now hyper.
He is standing beside my bed with his socks in his hands (he just picked them up and was going to put them on but didn't yet), and is gesticulating with them in excitement as he explains about the new database he's writing for work. It supports spatial coordinates! Storage and searching of spatial coordinates, see, so if you hooked it up to a geocoding database to translate addresses into coordinates, you could search for places in relation to one another, and it'd be so rad.

I just had to capture this moment for posterity.

But isn't that cool? he asks a bit plaintively.

Because the won't let me build my doomsday device in the basement during work hours. Duh!

Wha? They won't? What kind of fascists do you work for? I've built my own doomsday device on my various lunch hours and coffee breaks. Unfortunately it's written in PL/1 and runs on a Focus database.

I work for a pinko alternative newsweekly. On the one hand, they don't bat an eyelash if you start smoking the ganj during business hours, but even just mention ushering in a new world order and they get all touchy and weird.

Jeez, man … PL/1. You are a mad scientist. And here I thought I was all badass because I wrote my doomsday Applescripts in vi.

And yes, my doomsday device really is scriptable.
