Three of my colleagues and myself are on their way to a conference; nothing to do on the five-hour train except what-else-but-movies.

I opt instead to do some finishing touches on some scripts I’ve been writing. Fun stuff, really. So I’m using Aquamacs which is my go-to text editor slash developer app:

Nevermind the code (it really isn’t anything special, honestly), just encapture how someone might compare this black screen, color text display to their own. Their Mac, doing sword-fighting shiatsu in “The Princess Bride”, perhaps. And they see that.

Here comes the bombardment. “Why aren’t you watching a movie?”

“For one thing, the battery lasts longer.”
