Each Segues\u00a0 column starts with something tech-related before quickly branching out from there into a tangentially related thread. These articles are born from my thought and speech patterns that regularly contain quickfire transitions. For one of my birthdays, a friend made me a crown that said “King of the Segues”.

It may be disguised in the veil of our every everyday lives, but we are indeed living in the future that fills more science fiction books, movies, and comic books than is possible to load onto your 250GB ARCHOS tablet<\/a>.
