Itching to test my boundaries

I go through my days testing my boundaries. When I drive down that road that has the automatic speed detector that flashes when you go to 31 mph in a 25 mph zone, I’m doing 30 mph. And a half.

When I head out to a fast food restaurant for lunch, I want to see how many free refills I can drink before I burst. Or leave.

This article, (courtesy of the Make magazine blog) is about how when you go to Seattle library and borrow or return non-fiction books, you’re going to see the books in color-coded streams on six plasma screens. Although we’re already talking about 37000 books a day, I cannot help but be drawn to the idea of getting a huge group of people together to go down there and spend the day taking books in and out of circulation to see how we can mess with the system.

Maybe I’m just testing the limits.

Maybe it’s the anarchist in me.

Or maybe it’s Friday.
