The magazine looks neat; too bad my internet is so slow right now that I can't appreciate video or slide shows.

Still, couldn't let this pass without ANY comments, y'know. Good post.

I was trying to think up the last time I posted something here without it getting any comments. I wonder how often that happens now that the site is so big.

The interview is actually pretty interesting to listen to, though it's a bit long at 30 minutes.
