a lot of clicking

I noticed today that my email inbox had over 700 messages in it. I know I'm not really that popular, so I went through and I deleted a lot of junk. And now I'm down to 199. It was quite a workout for my right index finger.

ok, i read it - it's pretty intriguing! If he actually conscientiously applies his "humor formula" (from one of his blogs), I could see him doing that for this too, cept it's sort of an "intellectual formula"...

All 144 Adobe pages kinda reminds you of some accepted, cherished cultural or historical belief/institution in some bizarre, quirky way: Orwell's 1984 (doublethink), Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (er, based on Shakespeare), the Matrix, the UK's Royal Society, Darwin, children's books, that theory that came out a couple years ago about the universe being shaped like a soccer ball, etc etc

but it's re-packaged so nicely... don't re-invent the wheel...?

i LOVE the penny analogy!!!

Thanks for the URL to God's Debris. I'll e-read it when I'm free (maybe sometime this year).
