New iPhone leaked

It made headlines.  Because it was a big leak.  It was sitting in a woman's purse at a Starbucks inside a Starbucks and even then, all of a sudden, people noticed it.

The purse had got wet and there was a foul odor accompanied by a trickle oozing and then dripping faster than what the baristas were pulling from their imported coffee makers.

All the techies gawked, along with the millennial gen who hitherto were involved with rapid fire texting and OMG and LOLS.  What in the world was this?

Even the utility crews who fancied an occasional thrice a week splurge on pricey caffeine that were not planning a visit that day stumbled in from their site as the odor overpowered them and one of them fell out of his perch near a transformer.  He wasn't transformed but the odor dragged them to see what gas this was.

Meanwhile the gal from the restroom whose purse it was shows up and gets agog at the brouhaha surrounding her carryall.  Who's in my 'coach' she shrieked?

Now local cops and some media type arrived to add to the melee only to discover that this hyper blonde had forgot to dump her fourth child's, three day old diaper after yanking it from a recent incident on the road heading to (or from) wine country.

Her latest iPhone sat next to this package had interacted with the warm contents and somehow leaked its own chemicals that caused this turn of events.

Last reports indicate she was suing both Apple and P&G.  Apple because her haptic interface had become septic and P&G because they could not keep (her shit) a secret.

Of Jims and Johns

Here is another essay on the subject of first names. As in birth names. Or names provided to an offspring at birth. While the developed world tends to shy away from the exotic like Refrigerator or Coca Cola for their new production there is a plethora of Jims and Johns and Bobs or Robs. Speaking of which I do not think there is a categoric decision point at the time of birth if a child will be hereafter called as Bob. I mean have not yet met a toddler called Bob or Rob for that matter. At some point though the parental instinct to mouth out multiple syllables runs out and they switch from calling the crawler Robert to simply Robbie to Rob. Now speaking of - it is strange that the name sounds like something you would not want Rob to do - i.e. Rob anyone. Then why call someone that? After all Rob Peter to Pay Paul is not exactly a maxim to live a young life? Is it? Perhaps Peter or Paul might want to have a say in it? Then there is this matter of going to the John. Why degrad...

But What If We're Wrong?

I attempted to read this book by author Chuck Klosterman backward to forward but it started hurting my brain so I decided to stop and do it like any other publication in the English language.  Start from page 1 and move to the right. Witty, caustic and thought provoking this is a book you want to read if you believe that the status quo might, just might be wrong. At times bordering on being contrarian about most things around us it tries to zero in on the notion of what makes anything believable and certain in our minds.  The fact that there is a fact itself is ironic.  Something analogous to the idea that you can never predict the future because there is no future. Many books and movies have tried to play on this concept - best that I recollect (I think I am) was 'The Truman Show'.  This book by Klosterman attempts to provoke the reader to at least contemplate that what they think they know may be wrong. He uses examples like concept of gravity, and how it ...

Presumptive Society

Today's world is hyper connected.  I am not so sure what it means but you hear it a lot.  It is probably hyper but not sure how connected it is.  Sugar (fermented or not) is available in many ways than before and so getting hyper is easy.  It is probably more a threat than cocaine since it is sold legally. And what is this connected stuff?  Most people I encounter seem disconnected from reality.  So going back to this assumption that we are connected there are subtle and no so subtle instances of how brands and companies and middle men try to portray someone - A linkedin profile for somebody working for X years at a place advertises to the connected network that so and so is CELEBRATING X years @ Such and Such Inc. Do we know if (s)he is celebrating or cringing?  Perhaps a better way to portray will be - So and So LASTED X years @ such & such inc. Then it exhorts the readership to go ahead and congratulate them for this lasting effe...
