Its a fine like between security and stupidity, a line that seems to get crossed quite regularly these days.  I know you all have heard about the TSA and its determination to fondle their way into a secure airport!  Yea, thats a little extreme, but it isn’t that far off the truth.  You just cant [...]

News on your Amazon Kindle being sucky, and your story telling narcissism

News on your Amazon Kindle being sucky, and your story telling narcissism

I also cover a science story on why you can remember great jokes and stories…but not who you told them to.
