Don't Read This, Read That

Sorry for the light posting today, but dealing with a deadline. In the meantime, may I interest you in...

* The New York Times' David Carr gets an early look at the taping of David Simon's New Orleans' drama, Treme

* Tom Braden, the author and liberal pundit who gave us both Eight is Enough and Crossfire, is dead at age 92

* And Virginia Heffernan hates her iPhone.

    I read the iPhone story and I know for sure that's what would happen to me if I bought the iPhone. I feel morally certain that I would hate it with the burning of a thousand suns - even though everyone around me has them and I feel envy whenever someone whips it out and shows me a new game or some cool pictures. I need a workhorse phone not an I-feel-pretty phone. So, I'm going to get the Blackberry instead of the iPhone. James, your deadline stood me in good stead today.

    I thought I would suffer as the iphone states but I have yet to see into Oblivions heart. As of now my requirements for a phone/pda is limited to media: video/audio/podcasts, and phone service. After school is over in a few years, if Apple hasnt adapted to meet the needs that RIM does with the blackberry, I will switch. I love macbooks, my iphone but I am a man is buys what meets the demand I have in life not pretty up my life. My lady does that.
