Househunting & Wiliam Gibson

Mom and Dad are in the process of buying a house in Genesee for Kay and the kids. The offer's been accepted, but we don't really know many details yet. I'm sure we'll find out more this weekend. We're looking forward to the long weekend. Hopefully the weather will support some picnicking.

I just read an interesting blog entry by William Gibson, the science fiction writer (hey, it was my lunch break). It was a talk given at the Directors Guild of America's Digital Day on May 17 about how technology influences culture. In it he discusses prehistoric man, the development of mass media, the current turmoil in the music industry and what it all means for the future of film (among other things). Good stuff.
