morning musings: Connecting to society before 7am.

News 2.0:

250 years ago, a person waking up early trying to get their news fix had a pretty limited number of options. Today, as in – the past 35  minutes, I’ve tuned in to 5 different all-news tv channels, 3 all-sports tv channels, used Google News to access sources and news outlets from every continent except Antarctica, read accounts of the coverage of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and the deadly tornado(es) that are tearing through the Sun Belt, and communicated with my wife who is currently in Montreal. Of course, all this while eating a bowl of Shreddies.
