Twitter: a blurry and brave new world

 Twitter is gobbling up eyeballs as fast as newspapers are losing them.   Everyone from Facebook to Google supposedly wants to buy it; the Kutcher/King feud made headlines;  even the State Department treats Twitter with respect.   Although people question whether Twitter is earning any money,  it’s earned its legitimacy.

a round trip

Driving from Monterey to Los Angeles and back—I’ve done this round trip countless times.  Yet it felt different somehow. On the way home, my CD player breaks a few miles out of L.A.  In the middle of the state, there isn’t much on the radio that isn’t religious or Spanish—so I have almost 5 hours—alone with my thoughts.
