Besides the comfortable textiles, I was impressed with <i>ByteLord</i>'s choice of accessories.
A wallet chain, which I hadn't seen anyone wear since the mid 2000's, added a metallic balance
to the lower half of his appearance. His neck was adorned with a necklace that didn't appear to
serve any functional purpose, but matched the wallet chain quite nicely. Finally, he was wearing
rather large, television-sized eyeglass frames. Frankly, I had never given much thought to
accessories in an outfit, unless they have some kind of microchip in them. But <i>ByteLord</i>

We ordered <i>zaru soba</i> with <i>vegetable tempura</i> and spoke about various topics from
cyberspace. After we finished talking about the guy that supposedly defaced fellow editor P. M.
Cho's website, we started talking about fashion. I was surprised to hear that <i>ByteLord</i>
was quite into fashion on a deeply philosophical level. He explained to me that what you wear in
meatspace is like the <i>graphical shell</i> for a person. A hacker should present himself to
others in the same way that a computer program presents itself to users. You wouldn't want to
walk away from an interaction with someone having the same feeling as using the <i>git</i>
command line interface.
</p>
<p> I paid for the <i>zaru soba</i> and <i>ByteLord</i> sent me some <i>SMARTCOIN</i> for his
portion. We parted ways, each walking opposite directions on Valencia street. After our meeting,
I couldn't help but notice and observe all of the outfits people were wearing that day in the
Mission. Thousands of distinct <i>graphical shells</i> all populating the virtual desktop that
is our city. I smiled, and started thinking about a new ordering system for my wardrobe.
