I haven’t read it yet – I’m still marvelling at the headline: Intelligence Issues for Congress Intelligence issues? Really? Of course, they’re presumable talking about espionnage-type “intelligence,” or something of that sort. But it’s fun to think that maybe they’re all sitting around debating the meriots of their collective idiocy.
Shortly after the dot-com bubble burst, I was in my early years of college, drinking too much, getting shot down relentlessly by hopelessly attractive girls, etc. But I was internet savvy, which gave me a leg up, so-to-speak. Most of my friends from high school never jumped on the internet bandwagon – they don’t use AIM, they never really used e-mail until they got a job that required them to use it, they don’t...
I just had an “analog moment.” Taking an inquiry from a co-worker about one of my files, I got up to go back to the file room and retrieve it. About halfway there, I stopped, and realized that all of our documents are scanned into a viewable database that I can access from my desktop PC. We’ve been doing this for 2 years. Oops.
