  • The World (Wireless) Web is the greater part of my cognitive home, even if it is not my noetic bed.  So what time I have available, away from life’s otherwise pressing concerns, I spend here.  As a consequence of this predilection, I can be considered movie theater-deprived, book-impoverished, and TV-divested.  Radio, at least, I still catch while riding around in my vehicle.  On the other hand, I’ve taken the web itself mobile, both as a surfer and provider of consumable presentations, into locations where it was previously unknown: chatting and blogging from a cemetery under a full moon on a Halloween night, blogging and cam-broadcasting down I-90 with a fellow blogger in Norway (toreibjo) telling me to “turn left, turn right”, webcamming another fellow blogger’s (Roxy’s) birthday party out about town, posting photos to my Buzznet photo strip (above) from my camera phone while I run, …basically, just being ‘web-able’ wherever I go.  Almost all my blog posting is done mobile (wireless/satellite), though most of my commenting is done from home (which explains while I’ve commented so little lately—I’m rarely there.)  Yep, I’m pretty much ‘out here’: enriched with the web, deprived most otherwise, depraved regardless.


    Yet, from time to time, I do buy e-books and read them on the go.  And while I still don’t have the time to download lengthy movies and watch them, I’ve just learned of a site that offers a library of movie trailers from all the major studios.  Some say that many times a movie trailer is even better than the movie itself.  While I most often won’t be able to confirm that since I’ll not likely start watching movies in profusion soon, I’ve decided at least to start watching trailers as an online pastime.   The site is Apple’s Quicktime Movie Trailers.  In my mind, it only takes two cars to make a train: the engine and the caboose.  And while a trailer may not present a full synopsis of a movie, at least it gives you the gist of its movement. 


    But, no, I’ve never, nor will ever, ‘read’ a book by perusing just the first and last page.
