Litwack where you been at
- I met Bill Clinton last week for two seconds. I gave him a hug. Picture coming soon. What I wanted to say was “thank you for making the decade I came of age in awesome” but instead I just kind of got sucked into his field. That’s okay.
- Movies: I’m watching Two Lovers right now, saw Anvil (pretty good, more about friendship than metal), Fanboys (terrible) and The Uninvited, which I liked for what it was. Thanks to Louis, about to watch Def-Con 4: Defense Condition which looks INCREDIBLE.
- The new XL Kindle reads PDFs, which is great and everything, but I’m surprised they couldn’t get the price down a little more. The thing with Kindles is they break, so you have to factor that into the purchase price. I’m still a huge fan of eink and color will be great when that comes, but at some point commodity pricing needs to take over and make these things cheap, wireless access aside. Reading is fundamentally different than computing.
- Food: I subscribed to a CSA farm box and man is it making a huge difference in my cooking. The quality is so much better it’s no joke, better than local farmer’s markets I’m too lazy to go to anyway. I’ve started looking around for local sources of meat, too. Even if you don’t care about the environment (which I do, but not on a personal oh-noes-my-carbon-footprint-is-up-by-3% level), it’s well worth investing in local food sources for taste and health reasons. I still love McNuggets and Coke, don’t worry.
- It is a hot day, but there’s a healing wind coming in through my window.
- Happy birthday Kris!!
