Twas two weeks before Christmas
and all through the mall
the carnies were lurking
and accosting us all.

Like many people, I don't like Christmas shopping. I especially don't like going to a shopping mall. I get very claustrophobic around large herds of unpredictable slow moving humans with little to no spacial awareness. So suffice it to say, I have not been in a long time; Many months for certain. And while I have noticed the phenomenon I am about to mention before, it hasn't seemed quite so rampant till late. The subject I mean is the "Mall-Carnies".

| So I do my Sunday trek to the local coffeehouse this morning.Nothing quite like a clear frosty morning to make everything
crisp, clear and dry. Dryness being a luxury here. The other luxury is rewarding myself with a three dollar latte for the three mile walk.

My fellow Americans. There is a disease spreading
through this great country of ours. I feel that
if it is not stopped, it will eventually erode
the foundations of equality that our nation,
the United States of America, is built upon. |

News: Judging a book without its cover.
|
|
What is a book? What defines it? What makes a book a "book"? Is a book defined by its construction or is a book defined by the words contained within it? As technology improves the distinctions begin to blur. I recently got a chance to spend some time flipping through the virtual pages of the iRex iLiad. This iLiad is not a thick as its Greek namesake, but it could easily contain all of Homer's works and anything else that would fit on your memory card.
