SoylentNews

Wonder how much I would have to bribe someone to get an insanely high user number. Some number in the hundreds of billions would do. Trillions or more would be better, but it would need to be in scientific notation. Damn near NO ONE would actually count the zeros. Errr - wait - there probably are anal retentive geeks out there. Or obsessive compulsive nerds. Yeah, some few would count the digits.

Anyway - with some crazy high number, I can post from the far distant future. Infuriating nonsense, like, "Yes, Apple is still around today. They haven't innovated anything for centuries though. About all that's left of Apple, is their manufacturing facility in orbit around Mars, where they make a few specialty items for the Chinese Space Marines."

YES!! ICANHAZJOURNAL!

Of course, knowing me, this may very well be the last entry I ever make in the journal.

I had a dream last night that I visited a school. All the classrooms were in the basement of a building...the only way to get between rooms was by boat. When I finally got to the computer room, I found my workstation. My old Atari 800 was there waiting for me. I sat down at it and immediately started working on Soylent News. This seems like some twisted metaphor.
