Ok, now my brain is just messing with me for spite...

Dreamed I was in the cast of the original Star Trek series, but it was modern-ish times and we were all old and meeting at an airport to fly to some kind of reunion*. James Doohan** was the first one there. We greeted each other warmly like old colleagues, and joked around until DeForest Kelley** and several guys I didn't recognize but pretended I did showed up. Then, in walks William Shatner. For some reason he is removing riding gloves as he approaches. "Mistah Shatnah!" I say, affecting and overly formal tone. He grins, shakes my hand, and says "You know, there's been all kinds of chatter about Akamai lately". I am intrigued. "Oh really? What about?", I say.

And then.

At that moment.

I wake up.

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU....

What secrets about my workplace were The Shat about to reveal to me? I must knooooooooow!

* = Why we were flying somewhere if we were all near the same airport, who knows, but I digress.
** = Yes, I know he's dead (and I checked, and Shatner's still alive).

Maybe Akamai has developed warp speed technology to get data places faster.

Was it now-Shatner (Boston Legal), or vintage-Shatner (Star Trek)? Very different mental images.

It was older-but-not-quite-as-old-as-nowadays Shatner. I would have called it "Star Trek: Generations" Shatner, which in my mind explains the riding gloves too, but Boston Legal probably also works.

So around the time he was doing his first Priceline ads? I raise my eyebrow at this notion.

I am envious of that dream! You must write to The Oracle Shatner (c/o Priceline) and learn the truth about Akamai!
