Anyone need a copy of iWoz?

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.

Dear lady on a VoIP headset in my cafe:

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.

Actually I still need a new room.

nobody@vox.com(Nick Douglas) — Tue, 05 Sep 2006 23:41:13 -0700

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!

nobody@vox.com(Nick Douglas) — Tue, 05 Sep 2006 14:12:24 -0700

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.
