That's been fun.

Easy one.

Last Week's Goals:

See what happened.

Well, not a lot. I spent most of the week trying to learn enough about the Linux OS to use it in some sort of productive manner. Oh the joys and wonders of the CLI (Command Line Interface)

So I didn't do much thinking about character, plot, or milieu for The gardener, but I did find my life's imitation of my art gave me a deeper insight into the psychology of the inhabitants of my future world; the reason why they act the way they act. And, I'm afraid that, gazing in my crystal ball, I can see that this banal, egotistical, and uber-narcissistic future society I have envisioned isn't all that far off. I'm just waiting until the technology is widely enough available and we can all wallow in a self-satisfied, immersive digital experience. Shiny!

Next Week's Goals:

Pretty much wait and see. Oh, and start putting my race bike back together.

Phil.
