High Concept Am I blogging...or am I pitching my existence? |

![]() Saturday, April 05, 2003 The Title: It's like Thinner meets 2001: A Space Odyssey! Hold on, I just started scanning something at work, and of course it was going perfectly until I logged on to blog. Stoopid computers...Update: You would think office computers, today, in the 21st century, would be able to scan and surf the net at the same time, wouldn't you? (To be fair, it's scanning and importing to Adobe Acrobat....) but no. From what I can tell, scanners are the most complex pieces of machinery you can ever attach to your computer, because most of our IT guys would rather cut off their own fingers than help you when it goes screwy. If you're lucky, they'll just buy you a new scanner. If you're unlucky, you've got a rectangular ten pound paperweight. I had some fancy-dan point about video games--the well-worn truism about how they keep computers on the bleeding edge and how I'm willing to bet that nearly any neophyte PC gamer has a computer tons better than what they work on in their office--but screw it. The stupid program that interfaces with our HP scanner is the touchiest piece of junk I have ever dealt with. I know the SGF knows better, but I was going to say that I was in a pretty good mood when I walked in the office this morning and this scan project has wrecked it, just because the equipment is shitty. Sigh. Hopefully it won't be one of those days... posted by Jeff Lester | 9:35 AM | |
