Dawn In the Jargon Of Good and Evil

Just WHAT was Genius doing with all those dismembered computer parts strewn around my living room at 5:43 a.m. yesterday? According to the horse's mouth (and I don't mean The Pony), Genius was using those computer parts to make a computer. I guess that kind of makes him like Dr. Frankenstein.

That silver case laying on its side on the coffee table where my butt itched to plop was actually this:



In reality, it's square. The Pony, official phone photographer of Val Thevictorian, had an unusual perspective.

According to Genius in his bed this morning, that's a case he bought at a university surplus sale. A case that held an Apple somethingorother server, a 2005 version, perhaps. Genius really liked the case, so he bought it, and proceeded to make it into his computer. He ripped the guts out of his ebony tower and transplanted them inside the ol' Apple case.

He used the 3D printer that he made to create several custom shelves to attach within the case, upon which to rest various components of his computer. So it's basically like a fancy tower stuffed with fancy-schmancy computer guts. Because Genius, like Tina Turner, never does anything nice and easy.

Depending on what he uses his computer for, it could be good, or it could be evil. That's the duality of his nature, I suppose. He's like Forrest Gump's momma's box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get.

That boy has too much time on his hands, and on my living room floor.

    Catalyst,
    That's actually the name he gave his cat, and I just borrowed it to protect the guilty.

    Kathy,
    WOW! That would be Genius's dream job, except he turns his nose up at anything non-Apple right now.
