+Emacs is a tangent to life.
+
+We use Emacs around the edges of life.
+It's adjacent to everything we do: our work, our finances, our art,
+and, oh yea, our code too.
+
+Our life is text.  Emacs is a text editor.  Emacs itself is text.  We
+edit Emacs with Emacs.  "All the world's a text...."
+
+Emacs gives us a (false?) sense of control. It's shiny object. Using
+it turns parts of our lives into encounters mediated by a shiny object.
+Or maybe it just leads us down rabbit-holes when we should be paying
+the bills.
+
+Emacs is a community. A worldwide diapora of isolated geeks. It is
+a form of existential self expression.  It can be cathartic.
+
+We share all this once a year at <https://emacsconf.org/> emacsconf,
+thanks to [Sacha Chua](https://sachachua.com/blog/) and friends.
+
+Thanks, Sacha.

+"Now wait, how was I planing to tweak that capture template? ...."
