Um… So Glenn Beck talked about how much he liked Muse, and then just MADE UP a story about how they asked him to retract his statement? Dude. Glenn Beck is clearly just insane.
How depressing.
Dear lord. Penn Station was beautiful. How utterly sad.
The idea of Johnny Marr and Bernard Sumner sitting around watching “Bad Lieutenant” together seems…. surreal.

This was an interesting read. I think a lot about Boston, and its technology industry, and how different it is from Silicon Valley. There’s SO MUCH tech in Boston, but this article is right in talking about the old companies being highly vertical, and very insulated. I worked for a short time as a designer over at BBN, and it was nothing like the SIlicon Valley companies, even the big ones like Apple.
There IS a nice, growing valley-esque tech culture in Boston, I think, these days. Not as much as the Valley, but maybe about as much as New York. There are some great companies coming out of Boston, and it’s a formidable VC town as well (Polaris, Charles River and General Catalyst come to mind) - moreso than NY.
I do think it odd, though, that I know more Media Lab people in SF than I ever knew in my 18 years in Boston.
One final note: Boston’s biotech industry blows SF’s away. It’s just massive. If biotech is the next tech bubble, Boston might have the makings of a comeback.

I just listened to this on vinyl the other day. It’s awesome. Brilliant Trees is great too, and the Rain Tree Crow record.
That makes two of us. Ho ho ho.
