Incite Out 33: Kevin. I just burped and sneezed at the same time, and for that split second, I got a glance of infinite wisdom, benevolence, and beauty. Yes, in that gassy snotball that hurtled out of three of my orifaces, I saw the pinpoint clarity of what it all means. Kevin, I say this to you because you alone can understand. Look at you there working so hard and diligently hard to change how your users input things. It is a modern tale of the epic battle that rages inside of all of us! Good versus evil! Users versus Makers! Ins versus Puts! In a way, Kevin, you are that snot ball: hurtling out into the unknown, propelled by a spaghetti burp and your dreams. Nothing can stop you now. Change you user inputs, Kevin. Change them for freedom.
