Questioning goodness - St. Augustine
When there is a question as to whether a man is good, one does not ask what he believes, or what he hopes, but what he loves.

Why email is wonderful… and sucks
In contrast to a phone call or talking in person, e-mail can be
emotionally impoverished when it comes to nonverbal messages that add
nuance and valence to our words. The typed words are denuded of the
rich emotional context we convey in person or over the phone.E-mail,
of course, has a multitude of virtues: it’s quick and convenient,
democratizes access and lets us stay in touch with loads of people we
could never see or call. It enables us to accomplish huge amounts of
work together.
It also enables CH3aP V1aGra and O3M $0FTwAR3, not to mention the transfer of millions of dollars from kind but incredibly naive Nigerians who need us to "hold" money from their long-departed father.

Google adds Chicago Street View
Forget the "privacy advocates." Google’s Street View feature is nothing short of a godsend for someone - like me - who is new to the big city. Need help getting around? Don’t just look at the address - look at the very building to which you’re headed. Very cool.
Look, there’s my apartment!
