Moleskine Load Balancing
It seems that a real shift in thought patterns has happened without me knowing about it—I must’ve slept through it or something. I remember when I was trying to explain to my mother how computers worked: “See mom, they are like a telephone book, an encyclopedia, and a notepad all wrapped into one.” The point is that I used to have to hunt for a metaphor with which to clarify some techno-flibberty-flobberty, but now I find myself looking for high-tech terms to describe low-tech devices.
Case in point, the Moleskine Load Balancing Hack. This is a really long way to describe a method of preventing nerve damage in your ass from sitting on an over stuffed wallet by stuffing your Moleskine in your other pocket.
Now maybe you can tell me why, when I was looking for a way to explain this really asinine (hey that was a pun) device for saving your ass (and that was alliteration), I immediately focused on the field of computing; because I don’t know.
