semiotic_pirateWaking up at 4:30 am from a sound sleep (on my own, not caused by the cat) isn't so bad when the reason you are awake is because you just had a kick ass dream and you are excited over the possibility of "could it happen?" Yeah. It's that kind of morning.
Imagine the Nissan Pivo 2, writ large in an Iron Man type of way, being discussed in this interactive forum (yes CoB you were there, and we were both instrumental in getting the project into more than concept status).
Originally, (upon arrival at the venue for the presentation) CoB and I decided that sitting together wasn't a priority and he got this awesome seat near the stage but almost perched over it in some sort of organically formed balcony. I chose to participate/observe from a little further out in the audience.
Had this jackass sitting next to me that I tried to engage in discussion but he was just interested in hearing himself talk and in having his friends fawn over his inane chatter.
There was this really awesome presentation technique being used. Not sure if this is because of a discussion CoB and I had yesterday afternoon about the advent of the Scalzi BrainPal or if it was some sort of heads up display built into the theater where the presentation "slides" or movies were displayed for each person, but you couldn't see it displaying in front of other people (like the red lights in traffic where only the person in the lane facing the light can see it).
There was this amazing crossover technique making use of either corneal implants or harvesting the film that forms over the cornea (can't remember the disease) and recall myself thinking that elderly people would benefit from it the most. I had a discussion, after getting the roving PR person's attention, about a crossover technique that could be used to utilize the corneal stuff to enhance a couple of products - using the technique discovered for one to boost the other's power output or energy efficiency or something.
I remember being in an office later with the PR person having a discussion about stuff, and CoB coming up...
After trying to start a conversation with self-absorbed boy a couple of times, I got up and moved to a point 2/3 closer to where CoB was sitting, and he came down from his perch and sat beside me.
Later, not sure if I was still "me" or viewing through another's eyes, there was a kerfuffle about something and I was climbing over some (floating?) piles of stuff and machines to get to one of the IMP2 (Iron Man Pivo 2... tell me that isn't a great acronym for it, go ahead) prototypes because SOMEBODY had to prove that they would work and be useful to society. And damn it, I did, and the world was made better by my having stepped up and taken charge.
I really got a rush because of my previous love of Robotech. Yeah, I'm one of those geeks. And now I'm awake thinking of all the things that I had read or talked about yesterday that played a part in creating that dream.
