Electric Sheep
Feb 12, 2015
I had a strange dream.
I’m flying into Las Vegas, and I’m using an android phone.
The plane lands, and my phone perks up and I’m presented with a simple driving game where I have to compete against three other racers on a track.
I do poorly, and as a result, the game informs me that while I’m in Las Vegas, my phone will be using substandard fonts. If I won the race, I would have gotten to keep my original fonts the OS was designed for.
I remember being pissed off afterwards, and tweeting about how it sucks my phone is harder to use because I didn't meet some unknown challenge, and it wouldn’t get better until I left Las Vegas.
Then I woke up.
Google, don’t build this.
