What if?

Cory Doctorow of Boing Boing fame has written a wonderful story for RADAR simply titled Scroogled.
"Google controls your e-mail, your videos, your calendar, your searches ...... What if it controlled your life?"
It's an excellent read.


Later I came across this and laughed, and began to wonder.
What gender is Google?

Read the proofs, read the commandments and pray!

On the joy of reading

I've just finished reading "The Uncommon Reader" by Alan Bennett.

On the surface this short fable describes what happens when the Queen discovers the joy of reading.

In the beautifully crafted text Bennett makes "the perfect argument for reading".
Everyone who claims that they have no time for reading should be made to read this book.

"Reading is untidy, discursive and perpetually inviting"
