I imagine it’ll probably be songs for which the rights won’t be terribly expensive. Be prepared for Maria Muldaur to usher you gently into that good night…

I’d like to know when the inane phrase, “It is what it is” became not only acceptable, but also somehow profound?

When did people start starting sentences with “So….”? I hear it all the time now!

I’m a 68-year-old over-educated woman who rocks around my kitchen being Tina Turner while chopping vegetables, hair flinging and all, Proud Mary belting from my iPod. If “they” Muzak Tina, that will suit my probable capabilities for hair-flinging at age 98 but will devastate my mind as I lie there still thinking her moves and spirit but hearing something with all spirit removed. If only for its ability to transport whatever moves our spirit to wherever we happen to be, I nominate the iPod for invention of the century.

Everybody wants a direct brain-to-Google interface. And they’re working on it, at Google X and an institution in RI&PP that you’re familiar with. I thought I was ahead of the curve when I had that USB port installed when they took out my gall bladder (in four pieces) a couple of years ago, but it’s all WiFi these days. And ball bearings.

Kristin–How will we be marketable? What will be be buying? I can’t see us as a prize demographic. We’ll have Everything We Need (except the gas pipe).

Bob–Actually what I’m hoping is for internet access. When and if we get there, those of us who are still more or less ourselves won’t need anything else. Still, I fear the music…

The human race is divided into 10 groups: those who understand binary and those who don’t.
