I used to have a macbook pro 15″. When I left my teaching job for another school I left that computer behind. Since my birthday I’ve been assembling pieces in order to construct a new one. This is part and parcel of a larger plan to get a system of computers working–largely cobbled together from old tech I can buy on ebay cheaply. This one is special, however. This is the one I am trying to build out as my JARVIS deck.
Yeah, a dream, I know. But I’m about this idea. I got even more excited about it after watching Spiderman tonight and watching him step into those huge Tony Stark shoes. I’m writing the blog from the aforementioned system right now. It is an extremely comfortable writing station, largely due to the wider base. The system is programmed hardly at all, though. I’m talking clean OS and a memory system that needs another upgrade. Once that is handled the plan is to use the old memory in another system that I will likely give to the college bound kid for his b-day. Only a month left or so to get that in place…
The larger conversation here is that a movie moved me again the way they did when the marvel universe series first emerged and the way it did when I was a kid. Maybe that means I am peaking through this dark (so dark) cloud cover that has blocked out the light of joy for so long in my life. It hasn’t all been despair, but I haven’t felt the drum beat of steady inspiration from multiple sources in a long time. Moreover, I have rarely been excited about the opportunity to do anything with the inspiration I receive. New day. New light shining.
Time to make this computer rock and roll.
