It is a beautiful, warm and clear day in the Bay Area today. Hopefully the next few nights will be warm too, even though I generally enjoy the cool San Francisco nights. It’ll be good to have a change.

It is really just a night not unlike many others. But still, what a great night I have had tonight.

Of course it doesn’t hurt that I just had my World History final tonight, which I am confident that I aced.

I thought my increased postings about boring, everyday topics would drive my website visits down. I was wrong:

Repeat after me: Summer is almost here. Summer is almost here. Summer is almost here. Summer is almost here. Summer is almost here. Summer is almost here…

Ironic. (Or maybe not. I never really understood this word well enough to be confident that I am using it properly.)

In my RSS reader, where there are currently 2774 unread articles and 361 marked for later reading, I came across an interview with Noam Chomsky on information overload. And then I opened my 7th tab in Firefox to write about it.

Of course, Chomsky may not be the best person to ask about this subject. He says, “I wish I could answer sensibly. I just can’t. You should see the room in which I’m working. Piles of books, clippings, manuscripts, notes … All sorts of lost treasures buried in them.”

Now I’ll actually read the article.

Update: It turns out that quote was Chomsky’s entire contribution to that article. Haha.

The subject says it all.
