I feel obliterated today...I think one of those low-level virii that comes along and smack people around a bit then disappears. I have a theory that there are thousands of virii that travel around doing minor things (causing mild headaches, etc.) and that are never diagnosed as virii because they just aren't serious enough. So no cure for the common viral headache :) Now that medicine has cures for many virii anyway...the chicken pox/herpes/shingles/mono group of virii are a good example...widespread, definitely problematic, but not cured or likely to be given the kind of attention that things like cancer and AIDS are given.

Saying that, why the heck am I still up at quarter to one? Just 'cause I love my wife and wanna make sure she's home safe. There is no better reason.

Another thought: I'm trying to think up the next killer gadget. Not something that I plan in inventing, but something that has probably already been invented, just not spread wide enough or made cheap enough to get into the hands of everyone. Since the TV, there hasn't been something that has spread itself into every single home. You could probably argue that the computer is heading there, or that the VCR has already done it, but there are always going to be people who don't feel the need to rent movies, record TV shows, or play on the internet. Something bigger and more important to our daily lives must be coming.

I'm thinking it's going to be electronic supplemental memory at this point, but who knows. Maybe it's just me that needs it.
