TharkLord's (#56) right. Why doesn't anyone ever speak up for the poor monitor?

All this talk of fake or real. Either way, the monitors took the brunt. Some day, the towers will get their due.

I came across an interesting article yesterday claiming that playing the board game Go can help slow the progress of Alzheimer's. Unfortunately, it's difficult to verify the story because it's tough to Google Go.

After trying for the first 30 seconds to valiantly follow the E911 audio, I began to question my purpose in life. I quickly decided it would be more realistic to listen to the it as an ambient background to other work, like writing this comment.

As I write, the E911 easily slips into the background like a boring lecture. It occasionally slips back into my consciousness, like a sermon intruding on a day dream. But unlike even the most boring talk, it quickly slips back int the sub-conscious. As I reach the end of writing this comment, I realize that it is has a subtle malignancy, especially in it's deceptively coherent structures. And so, two thirds of the way through, I gave up entirely.

Thanks for your courageous reading, Cory.
