I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

OMG, Jesse, that job is awesome.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, that looks cool!

It's called OMG! OMG!!!

I mean, aside from the part where it is genuinely interesting.

OMG!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

That is spiffy. I'd be tempted to apply (I'm not afraid of Philly!) if I were even remotely qualified.

Oh, and in regard to the Segways - I'd contacted "Fox 5 Investigates" (yes, I went over to the dark side) and was intervied two weeks ago ... for a piece which may never air.

I'm thinking of hitting other news outlets - ABC has a pretty good consumer advocacy feature. sigh

What an incredible PITA, Toddson.

the Segway tours that are running wild on the sidewalks.

I am cherishing my vision of feral Segways, terrorizing people for access to an electricity outlet, then emerging to knock down passers-by and rolling away beeping hysterically.

If you could somehow get this to the Daily Show, I'd love to see what they would do with it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

How can you be an evangelist Episcopalian? I mean, I'm sure there are such things, but it's... SUCH a different version of Episcopalian than I'm used to!

Like this: [link]

Strictly speaking its non-denominational, but it was started by an Anglican parish and is largely Episcopal in the U.S.

It's one of your more intelligence-friendly forms of evangelism.

Actually, feral Segways would probably be easier to deal with than with tourons riding them. Part of the problem is that the people riding them - with very poor control - seem to think they're toys. They just about run you over and if you yell at them, they laugh and zip on by.

Yeah, your feral Segways would know the mean streets all too well.
