The last thing I thought about before I went to bed last night was whether or not my computer was going to work in the morning. I knew this was silly, but I was sure that my computer had become possessed and was out to get me and

what the heck does the word byte mean..i think..no i know it's something computer related...but what..and how am i supposed to write about something that i don't even know what it is...i think that's crazy..or am i crazy that i dont' know what it is already.

Okay, that's cute, but not really. While I enjoy a good homonym as much as the next girl, I have far more interest in bites than bytes. I don't know how we functioned before computers (more slowly and carefully, I imagine), but I never was very good technically.

I remember when I was really young and my brother had an atari. I had no idea what all the numbers stood for back then, he would say something about how great it was, 16-bit graphics and all of that. These days I get frustrated trying to explain screen resolution to my parents and friends...

I can't write about something so digital and cold. I'm left speechless, my heart sad with the weight of this new world of metal. I want to grow flowers from every keyboard, which would be named poetry. I think I have found God, but it is not pretty.

I like to byte. Ahahaaha, what a pun. I spend so much time online I start to wonder if the life I live on my computer is more or less real than the one I live in my house, in my town, with my family. Part of me wonders, if I had a choice, which one I would pick. And another part of me wonders... who would make me choose? I certainly wouldn't.

Byte me. It's one of those corny puns I can imagine the IT techs at school using when trying to be 'down with the kids'. I almost feel like I'm at Bayside.

When I see the word byte it always makes me think of "bite" even though I know better now. I think it's just the sound, but it still seems to work for me. It has a sort of hard-edge feel to it that always makes me think of jagged harsh things, or cold technology. so there.

Byte me. I don't think that's the way that this word is supposed to be interpreted. It stands for the amount of information held on a small disk. How do they put bytes on a computer anyway? It's information crammed into a space the size of a pin head that takes me well over sixty seconds to write. Okay I'm at the end. Heck. I'm done.

Yt was a cyberworld now, and there was nothing left of my mother. Yt was not dark (there was the glow of a trillion pixels) and yt was not cold (there was the heat never fully dispersed by the thousand fans) but yt was empty and there was nothing left of my mother. yt was cyber and yt was virtual and wy would all soon be swallowed up by yt and turned ourselves to bytes.

The screen was not on. it had never been on. "harold," I began, but he cut me off. "Listen you, when I turn that on I'm probably going to start typing up scematics for nuclear weapons and plotting to kill the president. I saw it in a documentary once, I don't want to end up like that." "What, that's-" I began, but the gun in my hand said different.

byte, bit, bit, byte... the computer churned, hitting its floating point calucation limit, as the DNA construct starting coming undone... the technician in the white lab coat broke into a light sweat on his upper brow as he discovered the process was indeed irreversable, he had just opened pandora's box... and there was no turning back now...

computers rule the world. soon anything worth knowing,storing,remembering,loving, will all boil down to the number of bytes it takes, has taken, will take to do so. the end.

i like to byte carrots. from my understanding there are maybe a million gilla bytes in a computer. without knowing that much about the word byte i have to imagine that because of its size it is more than likely very important. Isnt that how it usually goes. a small word means so much like the word

Driving home after work. Tired, but anxious to get to the house and sign in and do stuff I didn't have a chance to do at work. Hungry, though. Lunchtime on a Friday. "I could use a bite." Chuckle. "Or a byte. Just a bit of either, or maybe both." Yes, I talk to myself that way.

Byte? data byte? or just another spelling of B-I-T-E either way its still got something going for it. Maybe that would be a superhero's names, like "SuperByte" and it would be some techie with fangs to use both spellings of the word

Such a critical world, with such critical words. Why so technical now, when spring has sprung upon us? When you can taste the flowers, instead of gazing across pixelated images of green.

One byte -- the smallest bit of information you can get from a computer. a Yes, or a No: sometimes that's all you need to know to make a decision; oftentimes you need a bit more -- but not much, and with that you just pile on the yeas and nays to make your decision clear.

The ATM machine transferred the bits and bytes in rapid fire succession following my offer of the card.. It worked, and worked, and worked. Finally, it's answer came. "Funds not available", it said. All that work for nothing.

is something that composes larger files. It is a small piece that should make up the whole. Oh for a byte to give me something worth seeing. it is special and limited. It has room to expand but only at the help of others. little byte please do not go for I miss you so and there are no other bytes worth loving. the bye lives in my heart and likes to play there while jumping freely in the crowd of orchids. the byte lives by sally in the place where derams and made. oh sally . oh byte. that is..

Byte. Byte? Not byte. Really small. Too small for anything, but in everything. Digital cells. Building blocks for everything we do. In this world of bits and bytes..... Don't need them for anything, but use them for everything.

I can't honestly say that I have a lot of interest in 'bytes'. I'm more into the visceral pleasure of bites - that feeling of having the nape of someones neck between my teeth. Not in a kinky way, just in a "I like you a lot, so I'll bite you gently to proove it" kind of a way.

He stared at the word and was like, 'whattt?' BYTE? That's lame. We just had 'BITE'. Uh, now, say what? A byte is like a computer thingymajig, right? I've never been good with computers, really-- hohwow, I just switched POV in the middle of a whosmajit. Nice. This thing is so not like me, just rambling. Well, I've had a long day and it's 11 o'clock, I'll just say that. I've had a long day and it's 11 o'clock.

There is nothing worse than a computer virus, many people think. But they are wrong. Computer Vampires are much, MUCH worse. Just one byte, and you become one of them. But they are immune to sunlight. The only thing that hurts them, is...

Once bytten, twice fried... Yes the job was a "lab", thought West to himself. Even though it paid so little, the bytes he got to live out were priceless. So I can see if any of this stuff works, he thought. She was tall, blonde and the seed of a cute smile danced at the corner of her mouth. "Are you an educator?" he asked her. She blinked. "because we're giving discounts if you..." She instantly got it. Oh wow. Shwing! "Uhh, have a nice day. Next!"

Byte- sort of like bite, but not really. One evening, someone bit my neck and it was great and things went downhill from there. Yes, it was rather disappointing. But then, things usually are, eh? I miss it, but Saturday comes.
