Gatherings

Picture from California (of course), sent by Chris.

1. A few weeks ago, I interviewed Dan Gardner at the Ottawa Writer's Fest about his new book, Future Babble. If you want to see Dan being interviewed by a washed potato, here is part one; the rest you can click on to the right of the video window. 

2. Sylvie St-Jacques of La Presse wrote a neat piece about the rise of the guru -- I spoke with her about it and got some good quotes into her article.

3. Here's Henry Rollins dissing hipsters, and looking like an ass in the process.

4. The latest in trend in lifestyle slumming: Not washing. (Thanks to Jeff Bailey)

5. The primtive-authentic: Seashells as cutlery (Thanks to R Jay Magill, who gave my book a long but quite critical review in the American Interest)

6. The Underbelly Project has been bombed.
