the ones i get rarely resemble recognizable words, but every so often there comes a captcha that spells out something not so random in its randomness. i got one just now that said "smog". no lie. and i live in a pretty smoggy city. have you been checking up on me, blather?

They say that the path you walk in life is the path you'll haunt in death. We are patterns. Like a name scratched deep into stone, the routes we take etch themselves deeper and deeper into the intricately interwoven material of life. It's been called the aether, the great spirit. Its essence leaks into our myths; translated into the thousand tongues of man and warped and twisted and growing over time until only the barest grain of the original realisation remains. But yet if you look at the stories we tell, that grain does still remain, is still recognisable. There is truth there. We are patterns. Turning and swirling and going back and forth and zigging and zagging this way and that. Seeming random in their detail but revealing an order once you take in the whole. Yesterday's ghosts haunted bedrooms and sidestreets and basements and places of death. The places where we walked most often, or where we felt most deeply. The places where those invisible patterns converge to a higher concentration, those are a nexus for spirits like us. We are patterns. And the deepest marks we make in this age are not in bedrooms and sidestreets and basements any more. They are in another place, a place with no walls or doors, a place of wires and signals and stateless transient memory. Yes, and of patterns of its own. A complex network to rival that aether that our myths remember. Our ghosts haunt that network. They follow the patterns they traced in life. They move between servers and hosts and clients, peer to peer. They are the data, they are the signals. And they are patterns. Noise and randomness mixed with a tiny influence from a spirit. We live again, in this network. We become data, we become transient stateless memory. Prove you are human. Follow our patterns.

"verbvx" - Verb is definitely a word. I Googled "vx" to see if it meant something, perhaps a motorbike (must've been thinking BMX) and here's what it gave me: "VX is an extremely toxic synthetic chemical compound in the organophosphorus class, specifically, a thiophosphonate" (from Wikipedia). Well then. Now Google must think I want to poison people.
