    In reply to Former New York Observer Editor Peter Kaplan Tells Charlie Rose He's "Evangelical"
    I kind of love the quote about how it takes a single day to decipher whether a reporter is worth his or her weight. That really speaks to an intuitiveness amongst quality journalists, something that perhaps cannot be taught at school but merely refined (or alternately, stunted) by grooming.

    And Tina Brown is a lot [many things-er] than all of us, but that does not make her in any way something we should continue thinking about. #peterkaplan

    @ampersandparade: True, on both points. But Tina Brown's going to be someone we're going to have to keep thinking about. The question remains: when (or if) Diller will tighten the purse-strings on her operation. #peterkaplan

    @Foster Kamer: Evangelical pantslessness is more fun than Jazz Age broadsheet evangelism. #peterkaplan

    Is favela chic sort of like heroin chic, but with more rhythm? If so, I'm in. #myspace

    What's this future crap? MySpace has been a shantytown for the unemployed (& aesthetically impaired) for ages. #myspace

    You say, a computer from the time before porn! I say, those shut-ins at Armonk should have programmed Brenda Lee singing "Love to Love You Baby." No wonder IBM went out of business. #valleywag

    Also, here's another IBM/HAL connection. Just go one letter ahead in the alphabet for each letter in the name "Hal," and this is what you get:

    H - I
    A - B
    L - M

    When that movie came out, that was a bid discussion point among my fellow fourth graders. #valleywag

    A computer that liked you could be even scarier, as Wally Cox learned on "The Twilight Zone."

    I believe he was one of the subjects of Oliver Sach's essays in An Anthropologist on Mars ("Prodigies"). The author spends a period of time with him and his family and provides a bit of background information on him, all in all, a very fascinating read. #artists

    He's amazing, and he's drawing the city skyline at Pratt right now! Everyone, to the G train! Wait, right, the G train, hmmm. Okay, everyone, to the 6 train, to the L train, to the G train! #artists
