this says so much

Julian said tonight that he listened to a lot of books on tape while on rock 'n' roll music tour with The Pope. He liked it all except Thomas Friedman's The World is Flat which he correctly noted to be lame bullshit.

The best part? Friedman reads the book himself, and when he gets to India and is talking to the locals he reads their speech in his version of an Indian person's accented English.

What. An. Asshole.

I can hardly wait until he gets to China.

I am going to die alone and I will never know why.

Not so the salmon
Still less, the bear

we see you

GPS in the cellphone, unsurprisingly, turns out to be a mixed blessing. With that plus surveillance cameras, RFID, caller ID, and car-based tracking systems like OnStar, we're on our way to the Panopticon. Not a trend I like.

Some photos say a lot with a little.
