Developer handoff has been so smooth since I started working this way. My effigy appears at the foot of the engineer’s bed and I open my mouth. The CSS comes out at a frequency only their fillings can receive. We’ve eliminated all meetings.

I no longer send clients presentations. I enter their dreams as a white horse with an already complete interactive brand guidelines. They’re free to leave feedback by speaking into a bowl of room temperature water. I receive it immediately and disagree with it on a cellular level. Transcending this outdated material plane is my standing Tuesday meeting.

WRITER WAITING
by Shel Silverstein

Oh this shiny new computer–
There just isn’t nothin’ cuter.
It knows everything the world ever knew.
And with this great computer
I don’t need no writin’ tutor,
‘Cause there ain’t a single thing that it can’t do.
It can sort and it can spell,
It can punctuate as well.
It can find and file and underline and type.
It can edit and select,
It can copy and correct,
So I’ll have a whole book written by tonight
(Just as soon as it can think of what to write).

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Dolores Huerta lived a long and remarkable life of service and controversy, conflict, achievement and fame.

She was among the last of a generation of iconic civil rights leaders and advocates for change that included Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and her colleague and mentor, Cesar Chavez. But unlike those leaders Huerta lived a long, full life into her 90s — and she never retired.

Huerta died Wednesday at age 96. Her cause of death has not been determined yet.
