That reminds me of my idea to create "tech" stock imagery that isn't a joke

  Somehow, I think most stock images are crafted from a position or vantage point of objectively stupid cluelessness. No matter the discipline depicted in stock photos and clip art, it always conveys a total detachment of context, campy corny sentiment and general lack of expertise. Not so much by accident, but by virtue of catering to clientelle disinterested in accuracy, and with the awareness that all participants (both buyers and sellers) are motivated to reduce costs at all levels of the creative process.

  If you'd like I can whip up a GUI interface in Visual Basic. You can use that to track an IP address.

  The terminal could have opacity at 75% and then have some bioinformatics stuff in the background in another application (browser, whatever). I want to believe.

The double `ls` hits home :D (more like `git s` nowadays, also <esc>:w on repeat).
