Ten Armed Bandit

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Dear Every One,
 
The episode of the burnt cookies has not learned me one bit-   I continue to warn you about the dangers of communication technology, even as I use it to speak to you here.
 
I surprised myself by being almost outraged* by the idea of whole academic arenas and think tanks  devoted to keeping us steadily devicing (it's a new, annoying verb-form: shed a quick tear and file it with the other ones: sciencing, gifting, etc.).
 
Read it for yourself, here.  See the awful series of photos, too, if you can stomach it.
 
 
Until we meet again.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
*  Usually I just feel very quietly sad and hopeless about this kind of thing.
