And thanks for citing that particular paragraph — it's the one I usually restate to explain the book to others. Your "2 billion served" post was hilarious, by the way. Don't you just love little unexpected mistakes (er, "features") like that? Good luck! Thanks very much for the great review, David!

Good luck!

Slate's response to Spiderman 3 is chiming the same way, but it does talk about some of the better points of the money in the end. Maybe that's where your final 'S' is at :) http://www.slate.com/id/2165571/nav/tap1/ Looks like you’re not the only one to think this way.

Suck. Hope it went well. I would've loved to see the sticker artists (and maybe meet some of them). I was just checking to confirm the date so we could come, but looks I missed it. Suck.

I wonder if the "boyfriend sweater curse" also applies... if a consultant puts their heart and soul into an interesting, complex design, is the client going to end the relationship soon after...?

]]> Comment on anonymity on the Net must end by David http://crosswiredmind.com/2006/07/anonymity-on-the-net-must-end/#comment-1389 David Thu, 01 Mar 2007 14:55:41 +0000 http://crosswiredmind.com/?p=72#comment-1389 Jim, I first thought to simply delete your post but I decided to approve it. The reason I changed my mind is to point out that there is a generation gap that causes the perception that you hold. What is the real world? Is it going outside and seeing trees and cars? Is it going to the mall? Or, is it connecting and communicating with others? The internet is the real world. I meet more people online than I do off. I walk through crowded city streets and see hundreds of people. I go to lunch and sit with dozens of people. None of them talks to anyone they do not already know. They stay to themselves or converse with their co-workers. People don't even talk to their neighbors. Contrast that with online activity - even gaming. I have friends online. I speak with more people on World of Warcraft than I do at work. On xbox live I have friends that I know better than I know my neighbors. On my IM I have a bunch of folks that I talk to all the time. Over email I connect to people all over the world. Right now I am talking to you - a person I do not know - about a topic we both feel passionate about. When was the last time a conversation like this started in the real world? Talking to complete strangers about topics you love is not something that is easy to do in the "real world". To me the real world and the virtual world are the same. Sure, some people do actually loose touch and become anti-social, but chances are they would have done that with or without the Net. I would encourage you to talk to your son about what he does online. Is he in a guild? Does he use team talk? Is he on the boards? You may be suprised to find that he is actually more connected to the real world than you might think. Jim,
