I guess I’m still waiting on the release of Brain 2.0
This lasagna has something to do with this post. I promise.
You know, I've been putting all sorts of random details about my life on the Internet for almost a decade now. So you'd think that by now I'd be used to people referring to things I've put on my Web site or Twitter or Facebook just as if I'd said these things to their respective faces.
But sometimes it still catches me off guard, like today when Matt asked me how my lasagna turned out. The whole affair was moderately well documented on the onlines, and for those of you who were also wondering about the results, the lasagna was pretty delicious. There were some crunchy noodles around the edges, but the center was all appropriately soft and wonderful. But I digress.
My point here is that when Matt asked about the lasagna that I full well knew I had turned into a digital spectacle, I still had a split second where my brain didn't quite know why Matt would know that I cooked lasagna this week. My poor mind started to flip through its archives to try to find a memory of me telling Matt about my culinary adventures before the knowledge that I told the whole world about said cooking went and turned the mental alert switch back off.
Maybe that says something about how we're all wired to recall antecedent events whenever we're interacting with someone or something in the present. Or maybe that's just how I'm wired.
I guess some parts of my brain just haven't quite embraced Web 2.0 yet, but I fully expect some tech company to release a patch that'll update that part of my cranium sometime before everyone starts upgrading their lives to Web 3.0. (I'm kidding about that last part... mostly.)
