 I always thought of my father as a cowboy. which I think very few people do.
 he always came across as more of a business type, but, well, I know his true
 soul.

the fact that we can't drag a file onto a "trashcan" style icon that automatically sends the file to whichever computer that particular icon is meant to coordinate with. Like, something shows up on your desk, you say "hmmm maybe this would apply to so-and-so" and you drag it onto their portrait. could build an entire OS that's basically just a desktop for sorting things. Maybe little stick figures that show up when nothing's going on. If they're all networked together, they could sorta share a shared narrative, and each one could wander wherever it wanted to hang out. like, these old plastic and magnetic cubes that had an LCD panel on the front which showed a little stick guy living their life. If you attached one cube to another, the stick-figure would go hang out on the other person's device. It was pretty cool because you could build out a whole society of these little dudes just chillin' like pets. kinda makes me wish we had that connected to the net. ================================================================================ there's only 400 characters remaining and I gotta do like, 3x this much text... Ah I know I'll put the full transcript on my website

 every time I've tried to get a job for someone in the tech industry they
 turned out to be a fed, so...
 
 I do know people that you'd like to talk to, though. Just a few. That's all I
 personally can do.
