That’s free as in beer. Malcolm Gladwell has a review in this week’s New Yorker of Chris Anderson’s new book.
Given my new job, this quote from Anderson seems apt:
In this area you’ll find other things I’m working on and/or interested in.
But have I mentioned my beautiful boys lately?
Not a book but a short story in the latest issue of the New Yorker.
I usually like the fiction pieces in the NY but this particular story, in its surrealism, seemed to tell me a truth I already knew but had forgotten. I immediately sat down to google Stephen O’Connor (the author) to find out more. He sounds like a compelling person.
The religious nature of the story continues a recent trend in NY fiction. Last week’s story was also very compelling, a kind of Flannery O’Connor-esque morality tale. O’Connor. There’s another trend. I expect next week’s fiction piece to have an O’Connor connection as well.
Speaking of New Yorker threads, has anyone else noticed the subtle vocabulary threads in each issue, where a single uncommon word might appear in multiple pieces in the issue? The editors must enjoy finding those connections in their submissions.

Come on people!
PHP lacks closures. That is, they are new in 5.3.
As with namespaces, PHP is Way Late to the Game.
