Artificial communication ...
So, I have one of those for my iPods (doesn't work with the iPhone, though,) a JBL speaker system with radio:



Now, after looking at it, I think it started to try to communicate with me, so I feel like Telemacher in 'L. A. Story.' Here's what it says (sorry, iPhone pic):



'PLEASE WEEKDAYS.' I'm sure it showed this over the weekend, too, so, am I stuck in an endless Monday-loop? Is there a deeper meaning to it? What does it want to tell me?

It's driving me crazy, it's driving me nuts ...

1. I checked the user's manual.
That message means "You are home on weekends so I prefer weekdays when you LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE most of the time."

There's a patch coming out for that attitude problem.

2. Hmmm, it's on my office desk, and I have the pleasure to work at home,
so I see the thing all the time.

I think it's way deeper than that. Like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZkjoXyexKk

I really think I'm up to something, here.

3. Hey I forgot all about that film.
It makes alot more sense to me at this point in my life. However you never know what is real and what is not. So it just makes it an interesting thing to watch.

I think things are going to get better and better in the USA, with new energy things they are working on, and better health care, and a few other things. I got a hunch once things pick up it would make sense that things could get really great, the inventions and things I been reading about really seem like tech is expanding exponentially. (excluding ai of coarse :P ) the new tech is really cool to read about.

I think some people think about 'end days' type of things, but nobody knows when that would happen, so it would not make sense to believe any predictions about it. I think there are groups that want people to think that way, that do not actually believe in them. So I don't worry about it.

But that talking sign, that was an interesting movie.

4. It's a great movie.
Like I always said (and Wittgenstein approves of it) only Philosophers could make good comedians. Unfortunately, I never became one. Besides, Martin stole most of it form 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.' ;)

Yes, things in the USA are definitive to get better, and the new course is laid in already, although it'll take time and some baby-steps; but it will be done.

To think about 'end days' might be as old a humanity itself.

And now, let's sing 'Doo Wah Diddy.'

5. Borrowing from other peoples stories.
heh, I really can't fault anyone for that :)

And your choice of music gives some thought of red suits.

Well done :) Old song there. :)
