Anyone need a copy of iWoz? tag:vox.com,2006-11-14:asset-6a00c2251c0f20549d00cd96fb9be84cd5 2006-11-14T00:58:24Z 2006-11-14T06:45:07Z Nick Douglas http://nickdouglas.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom-full

I also have Carly Fiorina's memoir here. Won't be needing them.

Right now I'm reading Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death. So far, it's educational.

When you're listening with your gigantic headphones to whoever's on the other end, stop staring at me with a horrified and horrific expression. I don't know whether to run or to bomb this cafe.

Place I thought I got, didn't work out. So I still need a room in the Mission/TenderNob/Market St./Downtown/Haight/Hayes Valley neighborhoods.

]]> Writers of the world, vaguely unite! tag:vox.com,2006-09-05:asset-6a00c2251c0f20549d00c22524fd818fdb 2006-09-05T21:12:24Z 2006-09-06T04:11:35Z Nick Douglas http://nickdouglas.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom-full

In the New Yorker piece "The Lunchroom Rebellion," Burkhard Bilger
writes of "a Hobart mixer with a vaguely menacing air, like the hooded
mother beast in 'Aliens.'"

That is not a vague menace! That is a specific menace! Bilger used
"vaguely" either to slow the sentence's pace (unneeded), to highlight or
imply his characterization is ingenuous (unlikely), or out of sloppy
editing (unseemly). It's the third needless "vague" I've seen in print
this week -- a vaguely worrying trend.
