The Road

September 26th, 2006 | 0 Comments | Books |

Post-apocalyptic fic­tion in its post­war ver­sions has at least two com­mon threads. One is, they tend to be cau­tion­ary tales. The most com­mon of course being the threat of nuclear anni­hi­la­tion. There are too many exam­ples of that to even list. But oth­ers themes include, “it’s not nice to mess around with germs” (“28 Days […]

This Is A Bit Of Overkill, Isn’t It?

September 19th, 2006 | 0 Comments | Tech Stuff |

I was read­ing the news this morn­ing, and I noticed this entry on Yahoo! News:

Mousover Highlight on Yahoo! News

Now even Fox News has run a story on it. Stay tuned.

Allu­sions, quo­ta­tions, and bor­row­ings are what makes lit­er­a­ture, and espe­cially, music so rewarding.
