Selfish Crab

I checked out the Fifth Avenue Apple Store opening, which turned out to be a mob scene, so I snapped a few photos and left.

I passed a group protesting the premiere of the Da Vinci Code movie this weekend. Church groups badly want the movie publicly branded as fiction.

The preposterousness of the plot isn’t enough of a signal, it seems. But, then again, we’re talking about an audience who already believes in burning bushes and saviors nailed to crosses as fact. They’re suspectible to believing anything, I suppose, and the Church knows it.

Lastly, a bonus photo for all my heretic friends.

Notice the sidebar; it now displays a dynamic list of songs I’m listening to via Scrobbler using data from AudioScrobbler. (inspired by kottke)

   • bonus points for mentioning “Web 3.0″

Y’know, I am not that far off. I predict that given 6 years, and in an alternate universe without law school, I could be CTO.

Update: also…

5. Refer to technology that was around “before you guys were born”
   • bonus point for addressing interviewer as “young man”
