Three Things Daley #35

Monday, January 4th, 2010

…I love things that seem impossible

1. One-man band. Once it was travelling minstrels, or a big outing to a concert hall, then it was gramophones, later tapes, then CDs.  Now I can have entire bands by the thousands sitting in my pocket to carry with me wherever I go, making every tedious task interesting and every empty moment full.  I know this is old news but it’s still pretty amazing to me.

2. Time travel. I can fly for 13 hours and arrive an hour earlier on the clock than when I left.  Why aren’t there headlines about that? (thanks Josh from The West Wing)

3. The truth.  I can know everything about everything ever if I choose the 
red pill.  Omniscience is just so convenient nowadays!
