Shouting At The Corporate Monolithic Tower

July 10, 2026

Once upon a time there was a small start up that introduced our world to user friendly computing machinery. Apple Inc was born and grew into a global phenomenon and then the heart and soul of Apple up and died. Our world was a tiny bit worse off. By the time Apple was in need of leadership to fill a giant void at the core of Apple (😏) not even the co-creator of Apple computers wanted any part of the corporate miasma. I rework this fantasy to satisfy my wanting to cut a long winded prattle short. June 12, 2026 my wife and I purchased a new desktop iMac. We waited patiently for the Mac to arrive which we later found out the new Mac was coming from China. That was a bit of a surprise. Mac arrived on June 22, 2026 having made the trip from China on a slow boat or should that read 'junk'. Anyway we received the new Mac, got it unboxed, set up, plugged in, and then the horror began. Damn brand new Mac didn't work or respond in the manner I've grown accustomed to. Mac's used to work properly right out of their box. Not this time. I had to call Apple to try to get some help to get the Mac to function like a Mac used to function. After some struggle we got the Mac to work ... sort of. The new Mac took to my wife as a new Mac is supposed to HOWEVER, I could not get the new Mac to work for me. So I called the Apple tech bros and after my call was routed to Bangalore or Saipan or Somedamnwhere Indonesia, I was speaking with a Apple "qualified" technician that was almost certain he could talk me though the process and get the new Mac up and functional. Sure sure ... after an hour or so later, tech bro assured me the new Mac would work just fine. Except ... NOT! I could sort of log on but I couldn't access Google which is problematic as it's Google that hosts my skulzwerks blog. So and in response to systematic failure I went back to our old Mac, this very Mac, and here we all are watching the delusional antics of orange adolf pedofuhrer trumpf, a very corrupt version of the "World Cup" as in FIFA soccer, tedious televised bullshit but that's another story all together. I suppose it's always good to have a reliable backup. Good times kids ... no doubt. Now for Friday machine art.
