Brewed Fresh Daily

at it again. this time, probably the beer and cigarettes are what's keeping me up. two hours after falling asleep - BAM - wide awake. at least the beer was good. great lakes brewing company - lockeeper lager. the occasion was a visit from our friends at ipa. we spent a few hours at the wing house. here's a shout out to big jim - "thanks bro!" check out this google search of the day... so while i'm wide awake, i turned on the tv. sometimes, there's a good reason i'm awake. this was one of them. got to watch big thinkers on techtv.

While Turkle is captivated by the impact of today's technologies, she has an eye on the future. Much of her research is centered on how today's children are affected by technology, especially since they are often surrounded by toys that, unlike the building blocks of yesterday, seem very much alive. How will these high tech toys shape who the children become?

then read a little walt whitman -

"THERE was a child went forth every day, And the first object he look'd upon, that object he became, And that object became part of him for the day or a certain part of the day, Or for many years or stretching cycles of years"
