Noel Winter/Diary

I want to change the mirrornet. I want to change the way computers think. It's not as big a deal as people say it is.

The problem with the narrow-minded is that they assume computers can do everything. They can't. Alan Turing says the analytical engine's "province is to assist us in making available what we are already acquainted with". Computers just... calculate what we know.

The analytical engine manipulates math. But the known world all around us is made entirely of math, from the arc of the sun in the sky, to the intricate angled fractals of a snowflake. Following that - and I want you to ''really imagine it! -'' the analytical engine can manipulate the world around us.

Yeah, I just suggested a computer is God. Suck it, New Creation Solid Rock Trinity Church of the Holy Infant Jesus, where is your God now???

My name is Noël. I'm a Snow Queen, and a Scientist, and really really really good at Sex. The three S's, really.

This journal is my personal diary, which will be heavily edited before it's uploaded alongside my computer software program for my senior year project at Ever After High. You get to see it uncut, with all my raw ideas as I think of them (alongside all the sexy memes), because the mirrornet is ethereal and will one day dissipate after the collapse of society and the death of the uploaded cloud. I guess you can enjoy this in the meantime.

Aren't you lucky?

Chapter 1: Code
Code is just another language, like Latin, or Klingon, or that song that starts with "Day-O".

My sister, Crystal, doesn't get it, but then again the only reason she started learning Japanese was so she could translate manga on the scan-lation forum. Crystal, I love you, but your taste in entertainment is trash.
