On: So good, it works on barbed wire (2001)

Great story. Seems like a prime example of "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." In this case the barbed wire was a sleight-of-hand trick.

One day I'll dive into networking technology. It's fascinating to me how going down the OSI model layers results in such different goals, requirements, and constraints.

Also a prime example of the converse used by a university lecturer of mine: "If something seems like magic you're not asking enough questions."
