EDIT: This journal is pretty much inactive, just a dumping ground for my Twitter feed. I don't get onto LJ much any more, so if you've got something you specifically want me to see, come find me at Facebook (Shig Vigintitres) or Twitter (shig23).

Yes, this is the Shig of 20 years from your present time, reminding you that this journal is about 90% Friends Only. That means that if you're not a member of LiveJournal, you're going to have to become a member and then get me to add you as a friend. The first part is easy. The second part, well... go do the first part, and then leave a comment here, and we'll see.

And yes, we have flying cars in 2028. And no, I'm not going to tell you if you'll survive to this time, or give you any stock tips. It won't have any catastrophic effects on the space-time continuum, despite what Star Trek tried to teach you; but I've become an even bigger asshole over the intervening decades than I was in your time. Hnyarf.

• 12:11 Oh, great. Shouldn't have said "viral marketing." #
