Guess Who?

Computers really are amazing, I don't think people give them enough credit. Even I get frustrated when my quad-core, 4 gig of ram, FireGL, HP Workstation at the office takes longer than a few seconds to do something (seriously though, how is it possible that it can query a database with over a million records in a matter of a few milliseconds, but it take 5 seconds to open a file in Microsoft Office). I know people have heard this before but really all a computer is ever doing is sending a 0 or 1 to a processor, and that series of 0's and 1's is what determines a computer's outputs.

Can you imagine if the only way you could get things done was by asking yes or no questions? It would be like playing a game of Guess Who, except not fun (Does she have a long face? Yes. Would you say she has donkey-like qualities? Yes. Is she Sarah Jessica Parker? Yes.).

Life would be excruciating. So next time your computer takes a little more time than you'd like, remember what's going on in there.

Upshot

I've decided to make it my goal to be positive. If I can muster the strength to resist my usual negativity, I think I can cultivate a happier self. For instance, the other day I saw an image of a unicorn online, and instead of replacing its face with the head of my coworker, and sending it around around the office, I saw it as an opportunity to make a new graphic for my ex-roommate's law club at USD (Sports and Entertainment Law Society -- SELS). Here's what I came up with:

I had so much fun modding the unicorn that I thought I'd take another stab at turning something harmless into something badass, so I went online and searched for rainbows (I figured rainbows and unicorns go well together). This is my second experiment:


I wasn't so sure about the badass rainbow until just now, I love it. I call him Painbow.
