Hello? Can everyone hear me? Anyone?
Check, check. Check, one two.
Is this thing on?
Not the microphone—I mean my Electronic Larynx Implant device. Is it working? Hit the “Reboot” button, and see if that ook ook-ook ook.
Ook? Ook? Ook-ook.
Ook!
Ook-ook-oo—why does it seem like it always takes an eternity for the eli to reboot? I mean, isn’t this something we should have ironed out a long time ago?
Oh. O.K. We’re back online now? Good. You can all hear me out there? Great.
Fantastic bit of writing from this week’s NEW YORKER. A must read.
