Autocomplete_enabled
Current mood: 
geeky
Modern web browsers have a feature called autocomplete. It basically stores everything you’ve typed into a text box, so that if you type the beginning characters later, you can just select the text.
What if conversations had an autocomplete feature? I could probably spit out my little nuggests with rapidity, but at what cost?
Daily, I interact with people using nothing more than “Morning, how are you good”. If I had conversation autocomplete, my mouth would simply spit that out, while my brain stayed focused on the important things. Such as not stepping on any cracks, and why it feels like my left leg is shorter than my right sometimes (but not always).
Of course, if I just relied on autocomplete, I’d miss out on the blank looks that often follow a jolly “Morning!” at 6am. Tragedy.
Shan turned me on to a remake of Seal’s “Crazy” by Mushroomhead. Of course the song is 6 minutes in on a track that’s 14 minutes long, and contains scratchy record samples, babies crying, bagpipes, and I’m pretty sure a calliope. If you happen to find a copy of Mushroomhead “13” (song name and album name), I suggest skipping ahead to the 5 minute, 20 second mark, and having a good listen.
