Meteorological Fantasy Camp: When I was a little kid, I wasn’t always 100 percent sure what I was going to be when I grew up. But thanks to television, for most of the time that I was in single digits, I was pretty sure that my future career would involve carrying a gun. That’s the earliest instance of technology augmenting my internal self-schema, and now, thanks to quad-core microprocessors and cheap RAM, I spend most of my day pretending to be various things that I am ostensively not. For instance, although I am not a gun-wielding particle physicist saving humanity from the oppressive transdimensional alien Combine, I’ve spent so much time pretending to be one in Half-Life that I frequently dream about it. There’s a widget on my desktop that shows pictures of the weather, giving me the opportunity to pretend to be Brian Busby if my girlfriend asks what the weather is going to be like. This morning, the weather widget has a picture of snow on it. TECHNOLOGY! There’s a front made of snow moving in from the widget, y’all, now over to me with sports.
