The Continuous Client

July 3rd, 2011

I have a dream. Not really a dream, I see it happening.

When I walk into a room, the lights turn on.
(Probably my phone talking to the lightbulbs -

The music I’m listening to follows me into the car.

My browser pages on the phone are there when I open my other browsers. Whatever, wherever.

My phone calls are noted for follow up. If they have to be. I’d rather finish the call at the first attempt :-)

Yeah, sure, you can do it all now.

Who’s going to deliver the single sign-in?

The family of a Perth base jumper who died after his parachute failed to open says he was doing something he loved.

Lucas Oliver, 27, died after leaping from a telecommunications tower near Regan’s Ford, about 130km north of Perth, late on Sunday afternoon.

Police said Mr Oliver had been with three friends at the 100m tower and had died of his injuries.

“His parachute failed to deploy and has tangled round his legs,” a police spokesman said.

The family of Mr Lucas said in a statement on Monday that he had lost his life in a tragic accident but was doing something he loved.

“He has performed many hundreds of skydives in Australia and overseas and more recently had pursued base jumping.

“He was passionate about his sport.

“We would like to thank those who have offered support and sympathy in this difficult time.”

Police will prepare a report for the coroner.

Not me.

Sad days.

Stratosphere “Scream” ride

Went twice. Back row, at lunchtime, as shown. Then again, front seat, at night. When I shat myself. Closed my eyes. Cried like a baby. They should sell underpants in the gift store. One hundred and nine floors up.

All other thrill rides now in second place.
