The way ideas cue each other in life is weird.
The other day I was recording music with a couple of friends, and one of them suddenly started singing some lyrics in falsetto as a joke. We all instantly recognised the song and lyrics - they were from a Christian TV commercial we'd all seen as kids here in Australia in the 80s.
A day later I'm here bumping around Youtube looking for that commercial, and I start clicking related videos, and in 4 moves I ended up on an Apple II related video (and totally Christian TV ad-unrelated) without realising exactly how I got here:

I think the stuff he says at the end of the vid about 'I'm not sure where these people are or what they can do, but I know I'm here' is pretty profound for a 9 year old.
