I love this quote from Danielle Venton:

Klein’s 5150 made him a more capable thinker. My Air made me a faster consumer of media. I’m not about to trade in the Mac, but as I watch Klein’s easy competence while he replaces a blown video card and recalls his early programming days, I’m left with a slight twinge of jealousy. I wonder if technology hasn’t robbed me of some of its full experience in making things too easy for me.

If you have a ticket and haven't read the survival guide, you need to as soon as possible!

'Black Hockey Jesus':

He’s stepping into the light of being the main character in a story that evades the reach of my narrative. He’s not my character to write anymore. He needs to be partially released to his friends and the perplexity of girls (or boys).

I wonder if I'll be as aware of my own needs and of my children's own when they reach that awkward and special age. A touching read, if a little voyeuristic.
