The new issue of Wired is out, the one with the Governator on the cover — I have a short profile piece on this kid called Aaron Swartz. Go buy a copy, cause it’s not online yet.
I was in Canadia this weekend, taking my cousin Nena back to McGill in Montreal. What a cool town. Lots of French stuff, and lots of stuff I didn’t get a chance to explore. I came back with a bellyful of poutine, and a bottle of Havana Club, that I proudly smuggled across the border. More on all of this later.
Things I learned this weekend:
– Upstate NY, if you’re driving through, is really boring
– Poutine is great, but you can only enjoy it occasionally
– Canada is really big
– Vermont, if you’re driving through, is also really boring
– Vermont has no T-Mobile cell service
– The US Border patrol is now conducting checkpoints inside the border. We got stopped somewhere in Vermont, asking myself and my cousin Martin if we were US citizens. When we said yes, we were allowed to continue.
Dinner with Byron tonight. I’m thinking cheap Korean down Broadway.
