I read in an Economist article that the great East German spies slept with alot of middle aged secretaries to get the secrets about their agencies. The new James Bond didn't do that, but it did refer to the Cold War, which seems much more of a daffy intellectual game than the current messy holy crusade. I thought the movie spent its multi-million budget well, usually I leave a movie wondering why it costs so much to blow up cars in LA.

When I was at Barnes and Noble, an old lady tried to pick me up while I was looking at Josh's photo on page 108 of JPEG. I told her that Josh did half the work, and the other guy did half by looking so crazy. She repiled that the tattoo artist was really the person who did all the work.

Whn I was visiting Rick a few days ago in Boston, he took me to 1369. They have the best coffee I've ever had.
