Deadline

I have 15 minutes to write this post. What to talk about?

I'm slowly wiring my life, creating electronic shortcuts to simultaneously introduce new levels of distance between myself and my end actions while ironically unifying those end-actions into synthetic, complex outputs. Maybe that's just a really complicated way of saying I'm hooked on universal remote controls and wifi-beaming radio/TV/literature, but I think it is an interesting phenomenon. Some days, 80% of my life is experience through a screen - not just watching TV, but reading journals, connecting with friends, etc. And this has become so second nature, that I've started constantly seeking out ways to simplify this simplification, to compress as many activities into one screen, to compact as many outputs into one interface as possible.

If I was a text, I'd be a web page, a mash up, a portal somewhere(s) else. But I certainly wouldn't be any singular snowflake. I'm not sure what I think about this. What do you think about this?
