Techin'...

 Techin'...

The Heartbeat of technology


Da-boom boom,

Da-BOOM boom,

DA-boom BOOM,

Da-boom BOOM BOOM.


The drumbeat never ends,

Sometimes droning,

Sometimes staccato,

Sometimes rarely that patter of dew on morning leaves,

Yet mostly staccato or droning.


Da-boom boom,

Da-BOOM boom,

DA-boom BOOM,

Da-boom BOOM BOOM.


"My fiber is cut."

"My password doesn't work."

"The power failed and the server won't boot."


Alarms and tickets and outages and installs and emails and frothing-at-the-mouth freaked out pleas for help,

And,


Da-boom boom,

Da-BOOM boom,

DA-boom BOOM,

Da-boom BOOM BOOM.


It never ends,

Rarely comes in less than threes,

At the worst time interruptions,

Nights,

Weekends,

Holidays,

Forty-eight hour marathons of punch-drunk sleeplessness,


Da-boom boom,

Da-BOOM boom,

DA-boom BOOM,

Da-boom BOOM BOOM.


Murphy dances with your servers,

Stepping on toes,

On vacations and funerals,

But...


Da-boom boom,

Da-BOOM boom,

DA-boom BOOM,

Da-boom BOOM BOOM.


We go on,

Bleary-eyed,

Beyond being excitable,

Faded-eye watery focus,

We magicians,

Chained to the weary spell.


Da-boom boom,

Da-BOOM boom,

DA-boom BOOM,

Da-boom BOOM BOOM.


The whole universe fades and time whips by outside like you're in a black hole's grip,

Decades and layoffs blur into endless wired stories of hardware heroes,

Where logic is your armor,

Too tired to feel,

Thirty years plus,

Ground into PIXIE dust,

We're saving the internet,

Just techin'.


Da-boom boom,

Da-BOOM boom,

DA-boom BOOM,

Da-boom BOOM BOOM.

Da-boom boom,

Da-BOOM boom,

DA-boom BOOM,

Da-boom BOOM BOOM.

F the algorithms, power to the blogging people!

F the algorithms, power to the blogging people!

I want to make a search engine that only searches Wikipedia and blogs with no more than static banner ads.

I want the honesty of writing from the heart,
The focus and concentration of pages where nothing winks,
Nothing blinks,
Nary a letter tries to disco-ball your mind.

I want the ad section at the back of my favorite science magazines,
With every oddity and gadget under the Sun,
Where I can pick or peek at my own discretion,
And nothing effing talks or moves.

I also want conversations,
With the author and other readers,
Not just posts,
And your eyes don't need to know Jiu Jitsu to follow a simple sentence.

Algorithms and AI are dark arts,
They belong in shopping carts,
Not in truly intellectual property.

The bits,
You see,
We don't see eye to eye.

If I want arcana,
Let me freaking read!
