Robert wakes up to a strange sight... - 08-27-2005, 01:24 AM

Robert awakens to see a man looking at him intently while yelling into a long black rubber hose as if it's a megaphone and thinks, "This guy must be drinking too much". The hose is flapping around wildly and knocks over a drink on a nearby table. Robert wonders what this odd and unusual man is saying into the rubber hose and listens carefully. Robert catches just a few words or is it his imagination? He hears "...created a world ...us weirdos... cyberspace to... big picture... lost... forums... you... need... more... forums... especially... a... math... forum".

Inspiration hits Robert as he suddenly stands, rubbing away the sleep from his eyes, and looks the man with the hose squarely in his eyes and says, "Yes Sir! You are correct. I do need to add more forums. A math forum is indeed needed along with a complete reorganization of many other forums". Robert feels energized now so quickly walks over to the bartender, orders a large black coffee to wake up, and asks to borrow a paper and pen. Robert then goes to a secluded table in the far back corner of the pub, takes a deep breath, and begins drawing diagrams and notes on the pad of paper as the creative juices begin to flow. And flow they do...

An hour goes by but Robert continues to write, completely focus on the task at hand. The music and clatter of the pub recede to the background as Robert considers major changes to the ToeQuest forums to better align them with the pursuit of the Theory of Everything.

Another hour and Robert asks the waitress for another large coffee. The writing continues. New ideas flutter in Robert's mind as he quickly captures them on paper. New connections are made and forums merged with new sub-forums emerging from their union. Whole new categories are created. Someone is crying into the microphone about Bill Gates but Robert doesn't even notice.

Another hour, another coffee. The writing, planning, and drawing continues ...and continues ... .


"I'm going on a TOE Quest!"
