I don't have time for a real post, but I didn't want to lose track of this link:

http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.12/aspergers_pr.html because the article was so interesting and provocative.

BTW, i noticed on the blogger main page that the blogger kids are coming down to Austin! and they're going to Club DeVille, which IMO is a great place, with "great" being in the sense of "a dark, very low-key, cozy if somewhat seedy and borderline shady bar that i just knew i had to go to the first time i saw the tacky crown-shaped sign w/ its blinking lights out front of a place that doesn't even look like a bar, but looks more like a ramshackle old cottage, and my suspicions that it was a cool place were confirmed when i stepped in and Wilco playing through the sound system from mp3s off the laptop of the dude who worked there" and btw aren't run-on sentences great?

Anyways, of course I"ll be going to see Octopus Project that night, but not until later on. So i'll have to go down there beforehand, check it out and see if i can score a free blogger t-shirt for my brother or something. i'll update as more info becomes available, and i'll also put some info about SXSW.

oh yeah, speaking of which:
