Among the many news feeds and sites I subscribe to is TidBits, a site that focusses on Mac-related news and information. A recent column, that is not mac specific, really caught my eye. The title of the column is "Have We Entered a Post-Literate Technological Age?", written by Adam C. Engst, who is the publisher of TidBits and Take Control Books, and counts being contributing editor to MacUser, MacWeek and MacWorld among his many accomplishments. In his column, Adam expresses concern that in the midst of ubiquitous technology, many people aren't very familiar with the nuts and bolts of the technology they rely on.

For the music this week, I play the song Lights Out by Mojave, from their album Stories. This is a great Vancouver band, and I recommend you check them out!!
