Prolific Programmer on the Internets!

So, on my way home tonight, I stopped at my local safeway to get groceries and happened across the books section. Now I do read lots of books of all kinds, but three of them stuck in my mind:

1. Sex for Dummies -- will make more sense when you see the next entry.
2. Pregnancy for Idiots -- I guess it's the next step after buying the one above
3. Pocket Guide to Nascar for Idiots -- well, someone needs to vote for Bush.

Contrary to popular belief, the news is not about conveying information, according to Seth. The media sells drama, not information, not education, but drama. Drama engages people. Think about what people enjoy talking about. Looking around my workplace, I hear people mentioning Brittney Spears and Paris Hilton. Not really relevant to the computer industry, but there it is. So, "just like all marketers, they tell us a story".
