Imagine waking up one day and realizing, in the eyes of God, you no longer exist.
In the world of the world wide web, there’s no questiton who pulls the strings. No matter whether you avoid worshipping false idols, there is no denying the power of Google.

The thing about not having been a Steve Jobs disciple is that…well, it’s hard to be a cool kid in John Hodgman’s world.  He’s the only one who is allowed to be cool.

I’ve written about my buddy Daly several times on Rapid Eye Reality. The last couple days I saw him, we went on a beer run, rumbled down an old gravel road, and ended up at at music festival with our best friends. The next picture I see of him is the one on the left.
