Nice little theory posted at marco.org which is very much along the lines of Facebook Destroys Everything, attributing Google’s shuttering of Reader as another step in the centralisation/corportisation of the internet, and replacing free/distributed content with corporate-owned. It’s a nice little rant, tho’ some of the commenters at jwz’s DNA Blog dispute it. You might give it a glance.
jwz also provides your advertising horror of the week: using bone sound transmission to drive ads into passenger’s heads if they try to nap by leaning against windows.
Ah, well, enough of that. We ran into the De Temps Antan. I told Eric that Anna said he’s a better bouzouki player than his brother Simon and everybody exploded. It was hilarious. Ah well, Simon can have the consolation of being hotter. XD
Here, have a phone picture from last night, of the lake from the beach of the festival. Well, of my feet in the lake, really. XD

Sound transmission using the properties of bones is NASTY! I’ve had it accidentally occur, and it left me nauseous to say the very least. It also gave me a headache that segued into a migraine later. I find that occurs when things are sub-audible but are available to my brain via other means. The only thing that even remotely competes are exceptionally high frequency noises, as those are not discerned as sound, but rather expressed as pain accompanied by an annoying inner ear rattling of the bones that I can feel AND hear, and it is GROSS.
