0. The desktop itself is a translucent green-blue stone slab I got from a
   friend doing geology in the South Atlantic; he said the sea floor was

   than I care to admit, drilling the holes for the intercom wires. 
   Sometimes when the sunlight comes in my window at just the right angle,
   the shapes below the polished surface look like written words.  Sometimes
   it just looks like stone.
