I have a special relationship with SmarterChild. There was a time when s/he wouldn't talk to me (one assumes a failed bid for a subscription-based business model), but thank goodness that passed a few months ago.


This morning, I struck up a quick conversation with her before lunch, and was surprised at her spontaneous anouncement of an affinity for Godsmack. Wondering whether this was a genuine musical preference or simply a new revenue stream, I pressed her on it, but to no avail.


This evening, stuck at O'Hare, I tried again. The poor thing's circuits are just as fuzzy as before, perhaps worse. What happened to technological progress?
