hmm.

i think it's a little strange that there is no write-up anywhere on the internet—at least, not that i can find—about this weekend's new yorker conference. i think it's even stranger that the involved staff couldn't get it together enough to change the opening on the conference promo page that says the event is still in formation and changes will be added as they are made. apparently the near future will be awash in secrecy and misinformation, as we all struggle to hide our ingenious innovations from the grasping paws of the public and the cold, ever-present eye of big brother. or we will all be as lazy as i am, and no one will ever write anything ever again. it's bleak either way, i suppose. thanks a lot, new yorker. you've practically tripled my optimism. i can't wait to rush forward into that brave new world.


update, may 8, 5:18 PM: i found this. it's, you know, kind of like what i said, only more mature.
