Recently, I engineered a ritual to imbue spirit into a plastic back
massager that me and my girlfriend use. It worked. It's now a much
more effective device. Too bad I can't do that with a network server...

I find it hard not to wonder whether the increased effectiveness does
not arise more from an increased familiarity with the object than
anything else.
I can accept that 'spirituality' encompasses those aspects of human
existence not governed by the rational sense (love for instance, is
often claimed to be a 'spiritual' state) but whether one can actually
imbue a concrete object with this quality...well I'm skeptical.
But metaphor is a powerful tool. If it works for you - great!
Best Regards.
