I got my camera back yesterday, which made me really excited and forced me to go take pictures of various rainy scenery around my house.
I’ve gotten used to having this little SD card reader built into my laptop so that I can easily and instantaneously transfer images from my camera to my computer. My desktop, despite being awesome in every other way, is not similarly endowed.
As a result, I’m using my laptop* as a sort of extended SD-card reader to get the images from my camera to my desktop. My laptop, however, is in my basement/TV room, because there’s no point in having a laptop and a desktop sitting next to each other, esepcially when putting it here makes it available when I have friends over or when I’m watching TV. As an added bonus, my dad has covered the house with a wireless network.
So I’m sitting here in my basement moving about 100megs of pictures to my desktop, when it occurs to me that what I’m actually doing is teleportation. 
Teleportation is, essentially, taking something physical and transporting it to another place without, you know, moving it. You take something real (a picture) and deconstruct it into a digital / massless form (jpg image) then you use arcane magic (wireless network) to give that information to something in another location (my desktop) which can then reconstruct the physical original (print it).
Voila! Early teleportation.
