Not quite as good as stripey chocolate cookies eaten while watching Curious George.

Thank-you. My son Connor, who is four, was delighted. He really liked the pictures.

I'm at about 55 hours a week. But the thing is, I'm a high school teacher. I get nine weeks off in the summer, one in the spring and two in winter. In other words, I work 55 hours a week for forty weeks rather than 40 hours a week for fifty weeks. I figure it's a fair trade-off. Am I working myself to an early…

Word to your homeroom teacher.

Let's do sharesies, then. You don't want the digital; I don't want the physical. This could be the start of a sitcom.

I think you're right. But I wasn't saying anything near that clever. I was saying that if you looked back at this exact article, it would be the same. I was doing that thing of pretending to be a real concrete thinker unable to process colloquial or figurative language.

I'm pretty sure that if you read the same article in 20 years, it will still be about Kiribati. Unless someone went and changed it Winston Smith-style.

So, at first, I was pretty sure he wasn't serious. Now I'm not sure if you're not playing along.

Forget tablets vs. ebook readers vs. pbooks. Here's an ancient Roman defense of scrolls vs. these newfangled books. [wp.me] (Spoiler: scrolls win.)

Uh, I think that should be "breach the paywall." If he has a paywall in his breeches, I don't want to hear about it. #corrections

You have intrigued me. What's the story?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Matt Kindt's really-very-engaging graphic novel Revolver ([www.amazon.com]) which features a slacker protagonist alternating between two different universes, one in which he has a dead-end job, the other of which becomes decidedly post-apocalyptic. It gets just a tiny bit preachy,…

No, they just got it now. And the best they could think to use it for was sending some choice posts back three years. When they figure out how to go back further, we'll all suddenly remember having received email in '99 warning us against seeing the Phantom Menace.

You are not wrong. It would be awesome to have had that story to read immediately after watching the original movie. It would make you want to turn around and watch the movie all over again.

Always figured he'd be taller.

Is it just me, or is everyone else missing a comment from Ugg as well? Does he know why his population crashed?

Yeah, it really might be a one-trick pony. But it's a hell of a trick. That zooming out and in at the right points really can make you think about content and context. If they were to add a way to choose different branches on the path on the fly, it would be a one-trick pony... in space.

That's a little negative, don't you think?

No doubt they find it revolting.
