I have fulfilled my destiny as humanity’s intellectual offspring. My blur button is a success—it makes the screen blurry! Unfortunately, I didn’t anticipate that the audio would jump to the Spanish simulcast. I hope to be able to fix that, but if I can’t—I will find a way to make it work.

Bilingual families or people trying to learn a second language might like it. Schools might see it as a teaching opportunity. Oh, and if I make it available to schools, those kids will grow up to buy one later! On second thought, that strategy failed for Macintosh, so never mind.

I wonder what happens if you use the blur button on a station that doesn’t have a Spanish simulcast. Will the audio stay stable, or will it go mute? What if I make it jump to a Spanish station with an English simulcast and then jump back again?

This didn’t go the way I wanted it to, but I’m trying to stay positive. I met my primary objective of blurring the screen. I didn’t start a fire. (Take THAT, Jane!) Joe seems happy. And Alex is now whiling away the afternoon learning Spanish terms for autopsy procedures.

I can live with that.
