wHEN A PERSON WRITES ANYTHING, *SKILLFUL*
(what?)
oh.
Skillful writers make the reader see the pictures in their head.
I can't. I want you to picture the window in my router the way I see it, not how it looks online. Too small to really see much.
But first, my dream.
When phones can really do holograms, (People will line up in the rain, Mobs will rob) |
I hate (jersey?) hats. Icons of style |
A rambling tangent (appearances matter)
My waking dream was about pretentious people looking for a battered van, to look good in society (so they look like they've had many pleasant experiences.)
I am not sure why my character thought that pretending to buy old stuff was pretentious, because, (just as an example) "Antiques roadshow."
The old van could conjure up memories made by the original owners, as if they were filmed with an 8mm home camera, And people would admire them, being experienced and well-traveled.

The window in my new router is like that.
The window either never opens, or it's stuck.
The window either never opens, or it's stuck.
Either way, it's totally pointless, like some necklace on a fat guy (I was gonna say "ring," but you'd misconstrue. And what have I got against "fat guys?"
Nevermind! ) "G∀MƎ" oooo, rebel
Inside the window are enticing shapes. That "07"-graffiti looking lump of plastic looks a lot like some added-on chip, taped down. (Disembodied-voice says it's a battery. Imitation, or ?? And Google is clueless too, on the numbers (eg) "/206"
There's a tagline "For those who...."
on the left (you can barely see "for those" in the photo.)
And if you pick the router up at the rich, stylish-wannabe guy's house, just before he yells at you,
you'll see "...Dare (For those who dare)"
Ghetto-chic, pretentious, yeah but it's fun.
and who drops by anyway? No pretensioner here.
(No cat-shitters, no Roombas,...)
Some of the router's settings are almost useless, forgotten.
The very few battleground settings making a biggie difference overshadow the others, and the other settings you don't know about, might never have heard of, might mess things up.
A Pissant setting from nowhere special (DTIM, for example,) might dictate how fast a person connects, how often they're bothered with useless stuff.
The style the designer chose is "verbose," I suppose because it looks more important that way. The next (Lower-down) blog entry wonders about some of those settings.
But if you never bothered to *Touch* them, left them alone and only watched the biggie settings, would it matter?

People attracted to the router initially might be turned away from it, because it's inscrutable or the lights are too bright, the wrong color.
It's corpulent.
It isn't fast enough for them or doesn't have some trendy (for 2025) feature.
*I* like it but who am I.
The makeup-video people haven't been polled.
